I feel like such a dog hypochondriac at times, but since they can't tell us what's wrong... Anyway, Bertie woke me up last night, wanting to go out. He did a normal poo, but then he wanted to just lie in the cool, damp grass. We came back inside and he repeated the performance about an hour later. This time when we came back inside, he wanted to sit in my lap -- and understand, Bertie is ONLY snuggly when he feels bad, otherwise, he is absolutely not. So we sat together for a bit, as I thought he might be developing diarrhea or need to vomit, but nothing happened. So I put him to bed and although he was a little restless, he slept through the night.

Now this morning, he is just not himself. He's fast asleep, and I had to wake him to go out for his AM pee. He's walking very slowly, and sitting in the grass like he just can't move on. He's been taking doxycylcine for a month, he's got 2 days left, as he was positive for anaplasmosis on his last check up, and I put Advantix on him as usual on Friday, both of which he's done before without side effects. Otherwise, we haven't done anything unusual -- walkies in the woods, visit to the dog park, hanging around the house.

His lethargy scares me -- but it seems to have no locus, no specific symptoms other than he just doesn't seem to feel good. Should I give it the day, or call the vet? My bubby. I hate it when he doesn't feel good. And if he does get worse, it will, of course, be in the middle of the night, I'm sure.
