Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your dog isn't feeling their best. Dogs, like us, can have off days, but let's explore some possible reasons they're not themselves. It could be something simple like a tummy ache from eating something they shouldn't have or maybe they're just feeling a bit anxious or stressed.
However, if your dog seems lethargic, or if they're not eating, drinking, or playing like usual, it might be due to an underlying health issue such as an infection, pain, or even something more serious like ingesting a toxin. At home, make sure they're drinking plenty of water and resting comfortably. You can also observe for any changes in their behavior, such as limping, whining, or any other signs of discomfort.
Keep an eye out for red flags, including vomiting, diarrhea, labored breathing, or any unusual swelling. These symptoms could indicate it's time to see a vet more urgently.
It sounds like a virtual consultation could be a great next step. Booking a video consult through Dial A Vet allows you to discuss your concerns in detail and get tailored advice on whether a physical examination is needed. We’re here to help get your furry friend back to their happy and healthy self!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
