I just can't figure out what's going on with Maddie. She seems so sad so much of the time and she just curls up in a ball and sleeps. I get down and play with her, but as soon as we're done, she goes back to sleep. She's 2 years old, so much too young to just be getting old. I just can't stand seeing her depressed and this has been for quite a while, but lately seems worse and I wonder if it could be our frigid cold weather. It's been wind chills of as low as
-35 for the past week or so and maybe she misses our outside time. She did perk up last week when my sisters dog came for a playdate, and the day she got her gift exchange package, but otherwise, she just lays there. She's doing that now...not sleeping, but just laying there staring. She got an awful clipping a couple days ago and looks about as ridiculous as ridiculous can get, but she was like this before the cut. I just feel so bad. I guess I know what you'll all be telling me...take her to the vet. I'm going to be making her an appointment for as soon as I can get her in. Have any of you dealt with depressed dogs?
