my assistance dog went for a walk during the snowy period with my dog walker as my wheelchair couldn’t get through the snow. I’m unsure what treats, food he was given during those days on those walks. But since Monday when the snow cleared, my dog has become sick while walking with me. He will dawdle whereas usually I’m struggling to keep up with him in my powerchair speed. He isn’t interested in doing tasks he knows well like tugging a door, or getting a dropped item, which are easy tasks for him. But all his healthchecks like gums, eyes, ears, bowels, urine are all usual colour, and appetite usual too. Any ideas at to why he has suddenly got such bad lethargically please?
Oh sorry meant to say I spoke with the vets and they are unsure as his vitals are all looking ok. That’s why I thought I’d ask here incase anyone else ever had similar?!
Is he running a temperature, or is he in pain? Have you observed anything further out of the ordinary? Have you asked the dog walker if something happened? It could be a variety of things! Also keep an eye on him... I only once noticed it on Finn. He had an shock after he got shocked by an electric fence. Sometimes I noticed it on our former labs when they went to the beach for a swim. They had muscle pain after being quite sporty...
I’ve watched him all day and he’s asleep on me now. Not sure about temperature but he didn’t have one earlier. He isn’t yelping but doesn’t mean he not in pain....
He’s starting to get more alert thanks. Still not usual self but is more interested in things definitely
