I'm almost out of options with my dog

I completely understand why you're worried. It sounds like you're going through a tough time, and I'm here to help. Dogs can give us clues about what’s going on, even when it feels like all the options have been exhausted. Let's take a look at some potential issues and how you might address them.



When a dog seems off, it could be due to several factors like an underlying illness, behavioral changes, or environmental stressors. Medical causes might include conditions like pain, digestive issues, or chronic illnesses such as arthritis or diabetes. On the behavioral side, stress, anxiety, or changes in the home can also significantly impact their mood and behavior.



While at home, ensure your dog has a comfortable, quiet space to rest. Keeping a consistent routine and monitoring their diet can also help soothe any anxiety or stress. Ensuring they're getting ample exercise and mental stimulation tailored to their energy level is important, too.



Watch for signs like a change in appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or any signs of pain like limping or excessive panting. These could indicate that a more serious issue is at play and would benefit from professional evaluation.



I highly recommend booking a video consult through Dial A Vet so we can discuss your dog's symptoms in detail and formulate a plan tailored to their needs. You're not alone in this, and we're here to support you both.
