| Advise re possible depression Hi Folks, we have a 13 month old. For the last few days he seems very down, sleeping a lot, not really playing with his toys. He is not eating terribly well but that's not unusual for him. At times he's really perky and like his old self. We got a new couch last week in our small apartment and I wonder is the change upsetting him. Does anyone have a similar experience and / or advise. Thanks, Alison |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Dog do sleep a TON, they really do. Maybe just keep an eye on him over the next few days and if you're still concerned, take him in for an exam...?

| Depression Hi, If the dog doesn't eat well, I would probably try another food. Another thought is that the dog could be bored. When my pups act like this, they usually perk up when I engage them in some type of activity. |

| Hi Alison! Welcome to Yorkie talk it's good to keep a close eye on our little buddies as they can go downhill fast. There are many a Yorkie who have a finicky appetite but make sure your pup continues to eliminate (poop and pee) appropriately and especially if you have a tiny keep an eye out for any signs of hypoglycemia. Maybe your buddy is just going through a growth spurt and needs an extra nap? But if you are worried keep an eye out for additional signs of poor condition: any trouble waking or balancing, vomiting etc and like ann said, if you are still worried take him in for a check up good luck with your pup!
