Is my dog sleeping too much? Could it be depression or an illness?

At 3years of age he would generally expected to be more active but every dogs character is different and some are very placid. If his behavior has changed over the last 3 months I strongly recommend a full health check by your vet to rule out medical or painful conditions which may be reducing his mobility

When a pet has some kind of change in behvaior that last for more than a day or two, followed by decreased appetite or some other symptoms, then it could very well be a sign of an underlying illness and you should get her checked by your vet soon. However, if she is just displaying odd behavior and still eating, drinking, urinating, and defecating normally, she likely is just bored. Try socializing her more if that is the case, and see if this makes any difference in her mood. Best wishes with your pet Satsuki, and I hope she starts to feel like her normal self soon! Take care.

It sounds like Knox is lethargic. Lethargy is a very general sign of illness, and it could be caused by systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. Because this behavior has been ongoing for the past couple of days, I would have him seen by the vet in the morning for a health check. I hope this helps!

Poor Jackson! He could be shaking from pain, which would also cause him to be lethargic. At his age, it could be that he is suffering from arthritis. I would rest him tonight, and then have Jackson seen by a vet first thing tomorrow if he's still shaking and acting lethargic. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can treat him for them.

It is possible that he has Lyme disease which is transmitted by tick bites and can cause joint pain/stiffness and difficulty moving. An Accuplex or 4DX heartworm /Lyme blood test is recommended to rule this out. A Thyroid T4 blood test is also recommended to rule out hypothyroidism which can present as lethargy. Chest and Abdominal xrays to rule out cancer or other major abnormalities as well as a fecal exam to rule out intestinal parasites and a urinalysis to rule out kidney/bladder issues that may not be picked up on regular screening bloodwork could also provide helpful information. Jack is adorable! And a bit young for arthritis pain to be the cause of his symptoms. Good luck!

I'm sorry Harvey isn't feeling well at the moment! The heat could be making him lethargic, so I would keep him in a cool dark place during the day, and make sure he has access to plenty of fresh water. It could also be due to a systemic illness, infection, or inflammation, so I do think a full blood count would be a good idea just to make sure everything is ok. I will give you some resources that may help you afford this test below. For now, keep an eye on Harvey, and if he continues to be lethargic over the next 24-48 hours, or stops eating then I would have him seen by a vet again. I hope this helps! Afford a vet: You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com

If only Jackie could talk! Just like people, there are many conditions that can make pets feel sick. This could range from bacterial over growth to intestinal blockage. Also like us, diseases are best addressed early and this may result in a better prognosis. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian today if the behavior has lasted beyond 24 hours or if he is not eating or drinking. The doctor will need to learn the underlying cause in order to give appropriate treatment. Bring in a stool sample in case the doctor needs to test it. I hope Jackie starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
