30 Answers I have a Lab Collie Mix of 9 years old. She is usually very playful and energetic. From the time I woke up this morning to the time I went to work, I noticed that she was not playing at all. She would stand in one spot for an extended period of time and droop her head in almost a submissive posture. Her tail stops wagging when she does this until someone says her name. She just started walking backwards a few steps today too which is something I have never known her to do. She is allowed to get on the couchs and beds but instead she is choosing not to climb up onto them. To the best of my knowledge she did not get hurt and she doesn't act as if she has. Oh, she is hot just above her eyes, like she has a fever or something.
She is eating fine, pooping fine, and drinking plenty of water too. She acts like she is almost depressed or scared of something, and if I didn't know any better I would say its depression.
Anyone have even the slightest idea what could have caused this huge change in personality for her?

| | | Yeah like a spot light. Night vision would work too. We have a rather large yard and she tends to rome a bit when she goes out. Well its not all our yard, but there is an empty field next to our property. So keeping track of her would take some doing. All I really know is that she comes when she is called. | | | | Ultra Member | |

It's a pain in the butt (probably more so for her)[bad pun, I know] but if you want to make sure that's the only way to really know until she sees a vet. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | Yeah, good suggestions. Nice pun, very funny, and nice pic, also very funny. She would hate me for life lol. Might be a good idea though, got to find one big enough for her massive butt though lol. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | How about leash walk her to go potty. Its going to be an effort on your part, but at least you'd know.
I know if my dog was sick like that, instead of complaining about not being able to find out if she's sick, id walk her. You'll know for sure if she's indeed blocked, or if its something else.
Blockage is painful for dogs. If she's not passing anything, then she's probably in pain. Don't you think it'd be in favor to your dog to hand walk her? | | | | Senior Member | |
