Signs of Illness

It's important to your dog's health and well-being to keep a watch out for signs of illnesses. Some of the signals that maybe your dog isn't feeling well are decreased or no appetite, increased thirst and abnormal behavior. So if your dog is normally a "barker" and all of the sudden he doesn't seem interested in barking, that may indicate that he's sick. If your dog experiences any of the following signs of illness, please take him to the veterinarian as soon as possible.

~ Abnormal discharges from body orifices such as the nose, ears, or
genitals

~ Abnormal lumps

~ Changes in behavior

~ Dandruff, loss of hair, open sores, or a ragged or dull coat

~ Foul breath or excessive tartar deposits on teeth

~ Difficult, abnormal or uncontrolled waste elimination

~ Increased water intake

~ Lack of appetite

~ Limping or difficulty getting up or lying down

~ Noticeable weight gain or loss
