Hi All,
I am new to the forum, but likely should have joined the day we welcomed Maxwell Harris into our home. He has been a pretty sick puppy thus far and we are now faced with yet another challenge.
He is currently being treated for Mange, and has about a weeks worth of medication remaining. The skin looks much better, and he had gotten a lot of his energy back in the past 2 weeks, so much so that he has been on a destructive streak.
Last night we noticed that Max was acting very sleepy, and drinking a lot of water. We thought he may need to be cooled down, so we have him a cool shower, put some ice packs under his belly and bootie, and he seemed to be feeling better. Today when I went to get him out of his crate, he was still sound asleep after sleeping for almost 12 hours. He went outside and did his business, ate a little of his breakfast, and came back in- plopped back down and went right back to sleep.
He has been sleeping basically non-stop all day. When we did get him up he wobbled along, ran into furniture, and his back legs seems to give way several times- he walked like a drunk. His heart rate and breathing are normal, and he is not running a temperature. He is twitching in his sleep, which is also concerning.
When this sleepy behavior began, we thought he maybe growing again, can that make this dog this tired?? Any thoughts are appreciated
