Hi Guys!
I really don't post much!
Today has me a little worried about our dog though. He loves food. Always has. Usually chows down within minutes and looks for any spilled food. Last week, he started getting cherry eye in his right eye and it was all red and bloodshot, so we have been giving him some eye ointment the vet prescribed us. His eye is no longer red and we are looking into cherry eye removal.
However, today is the first day off the ointment, but he wouldn't get out of bed this morning (he sleeps on a bed next to our bed) and didn't come out for his breakfast until 10.30am! He ate a tiny tiny amount and walked back to bed and went to sleep. It's now noon and I coax him to come from the bed and he just went straight back to sleep on the sofa. He normally sleeps alot but that's after he gets cuddles and runs outside. He wont go outside and has no interest in anything. He hasn't even been out to potty today!
Does this seem like he may be depressed? We moved from Japan to California recently, he got here mid October, so I don't think that would be the culprit? And I stay home all day so it's not like he is lonely? Or is he!? I have been wanted another bulldog to keep him company, maybe that would help?
He is going to be 5 in April.
