So I don't even know how to explain what is going on...but Joe just hasn't been himself for the past week or so. I went away to Costa Rica for two weeks before Thanksgiving, my Dad came from NC and stayed with him him at my house. When I got back Joe seemed to have a little redness in his ears and a little tail pocket irriation. I bathed him, got some veterycin for his ears and was extra careful using witch hazel and desitin on his tail pocket. His ears seem better and his tail pocket seems better (no yuckiness or obvious sign of infection) when I clean it except that he FLIPS out on me. He tries to bite me and gets really mean. He also tried to bite me yesterday when I put him in the crate so I could vacuumn and again when I was helping him on my bed. He slept all morning this morning and didn't even get up while I was cleaning the house. He usually follows me around and in whatever room I happen to be in. My Dad is still at my house and he agrees that Joe doesn't seem like himself. My Dad tried to play soccer with him and he stopped playing after a few minutes. I have never seen Joe stop playing soccer, I have to hide the ball because he is obsessed. I have a vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow. I just feel like I don't have any clear symptoms other than he is obviously not himself and does seem to be a little itchier than normal (biting his paws a little and there was some ear scratching initially). Any thoughts?
