A little worried about Dana

[dobermom]

I am trying not to over react.

The past few days Dana seems "off". Today has been the worst. She is just very quiet and inactive. I thought that was strange since the weather has been so nice.
She is more "clingy" then usual.
She also has been a bit "crabby" tonight.
She is eating and drinking normal, poops are normal.

Any ideas? Am I just a worry wart?

Just throwing a few thoughts out here.
Has anything changed in the house? Family?
Is she getting her normal number of walks, playtime?

Funny but my b/f Joe adores Emma and she usually bounces out of the house to greet him. The day before yesterday, she was distracted and didn't do her normal greeting. He was a little upset by that. My both (male and female) have been unusually quiet and clingly. Could it it just be a change of season thing?

Have you taken Dana's temp? Is it normal. How do her gums look, do they have a good recovery time?

We usually know our dogs and what is out of the ordinary for them. It would warrant keeping an eye on her as I know you will. Keep us posted. I know, sometimes I worry for nothing.

If Emma is pregnant that could make her feel off.

Dobermom-
Is Dana the one just involved in the fight ?

Does she have arthritis? Even though it has been warm, it has been very damp. This sometimes aggravates the pain.

I have found with Dax that she goes in cycles. Sometimes the higher the up, the lower the low.

If it gets worse or lasts more than 4 days, I would ask a vet about it.

Buddy had a couple days like that about a week or so ago... drove me crazy but he was fine. I think our dogs get in moods sometimes. He had cabin fever, the weather had been so bad and when it started to get a little warm and we got to take them out and swimming, he perked right up. Best of luck to you.

I'm not sure hun nomad has been acting weird to lately I think it might be the weather.

Yes, she was, she was the aggressor. This morning she tried to get up on my bed, and couldn't make it. She fell off.
LuvMyJob, I assume she has arthritis, I thought that may be part of it.

They get colds too. I would give it a week and then do something like take her to the vet.
Is she getting any kind of medication or supplement (like glucosamine) for her arthritis?
