Sick Dog

Hi all, When i got home from work last night, i went to let Jabba in & he was acting very shy when normally he is going feral when i get home. He was dribbling a bit as well which he doesnt normally do too. So i let him in & he wasnt interested in playing or anything, wouldnt come near me so i was getting a bit worried. I checked him over for ticks because they have been pretty bad but didnt find any. He had a fair few fleas though, so i gave him a spray with frontline. He started to get a bit more playful later on & then this morning he was a lot better but still a bit quiet. Im going home at lunch to check on him & hopefully he is back to normal.
Ive got no idea what was wrong with him, any suggestions?

Maybe ate something or maybe he was chasing something about the garden and tired himself out. Keep an eye out for any more off behaviors like drooling and panting. If he is doing so take him to the vets to be safe !

im sure theres nothing to worry about just mabey having a off day but yea keep an eye on him n if it gets any worse or u notice anything else i would contact a vet for more advice hope he ok

just ducked home to check on him, all good now. He's back to being a retard! should of seen him when i got home he was running around chasing butterfly's. funniest thing ever!

awww great! give him a big hug from me

Glad he is feeling better, may have been a spider bite, or he ate a slug Hopefully whatever it was has passed now

Can anyone tell me exactly why they eat slugs?

Generally speaking I thing dogs in general take great pleasure in eating anything that we may find remotely disgusting, slugs , dead animals, poop, grass, turds just so they can watch our face change

Glad he's doing better. Jelly pulled something like that at the end of August, really freaked me out, she would not move, she was shaking, dribbling... same the next morning, took her for a walk, let her play with a couple of dogs in the park and she was right back to bounding around, full speed running, playing like a loony...

currently she is eating the cats' plastic spinny mouse track toy piece by piece. she also loves cardboard. Dogs are weird.

Maybe the same reason some humans eat snails or maybe because they are just disgusting, slugs that is not dogs

My friend found a fried and flavoured slug in her packet of crisps once
