I am really scared about my dog. Something is wrong. I called the Vet this morning and the first available time they can see her is tomorrow at 1:45pm. The receptionist did say she would call if there was a cancellation and they could get me in earlier.
My dog Tiffany is acting really weird. She seems lethargic, confused and weak. I don't know what is going on, but she is not acting like my Tiffany. Her gait seems ok, but she seems weak. Then she isn't begging like she normally does. She didn't come sit by the table for lunch like she normally does. Then she was standing by the sliding glass door just zoning (for lack of a better term). She stood there for a few minutes doing this, just standing there staring at the corner. Also, she normally follows me around the house but she isn't today. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, I have seen her drink water and a little food, but not her normal amount of food and I have seen her go outside and go to the bathroom. Also, I haven't seen her wag her tail all day. She doesn't seem in any distress, is breathing ok, but I am really worried. I don't know if my nerves can wait until the Vet appointment tomorrow. I don't know Tiffany's exact age because we adopted her 5 years ago. But at the time of the adoption the vet made an educated guess that she was about 5. So that would put her around 10 yrs old, making her a senior dog. All this seems to have come on really suddenly. She did have a "zoning" episode last week but came out of it and seemed like her normal self. She wasn't like this yesterday. I'm so worried.
