What breed of dog is it?

flashfire · 02-11-2004, 03:23 AM

not sure, my dog acts like that some time when he just wants attention but maybe you better go to the vet in the morning

xenigo · 02-11-2004, 03:23 AM

Take him to the vet when they open. You can try asking him what's wrong, say something like "Roooo rooooo rooo, ruf ruf, errrr errrrrrrrrr, roooooo roooo rooo" and see what he tells you. Usually works for me...

KRL · 02-11-2004, 03:23 AM

He could have bloat. That's were there stomach gets messed up.

Kidney stones another possibility.

Maybe just an upset stomach.

Cash4Joins · 02-11-2004, 03:23 AM

maybe your dog is in heat?

beemk · 02-11-2004, 03:23 AM

hes a pit/lab mix

lakeview · 02-11-2004, 03:25 AM

is he eating and drinking normally?
does his pee and poo look normal (serious question)

yeah it does, hes eating and drinking normally

mule · 02-11-2004, 03:31 AM

Is his nose wet? A dry nose is usually the first sign that a dog is not well.

beemk · 02-11-2004, 03:33 AM

yeah his nose is wet

MadCap · 02-11-2004, 03:34 AM

Just take it to the vet man the 50 bucks even if something isint wrong is worth it

<IMX> · 02-11-2004, 03:36 AM

Maybe he wants to go outside???

beemk · 02-11-2004, 03:36 AM

heres a pic i just took, i dont notice anything wrong with him from looking at him.

yeah im planning on it, but its 5:30 am here, so i have to wait till 9

Sig Whore · 02-11-2004, 03:37 AM

Its an attention whore

But seriously to answer your question.. a trip to the vet for $50 is what i would recommend if there *IS* something potentially wrong with the dog and you catch it early it will cost a hell of a lot less than if its not caught in time

thats good, then no blockage or uti.

Whats his attitude? is he feeling playful and trying to get your attention to play with you, or does he seem slow and sad, moping aroung?

is he play-bowing you or playing with his toys?

beemk · 02-11-2004, 03:42 AM

hes just whining and pawing at me

Morgan · 02-11-2004, 03:43 AM

sometimes they eat grass to puke when they feel sick

Sounds like he's just sick and tired of looking at your back....get off the computer and give him some quality time

i heard that when dogs feel sick they eat grass, i know it sounds dumb, but thats only wat i heard

rigrunner · 02-11-2004, 05:12 AM

yeah they do eat grass...yukk

If his nose is wet, its drinking, moving and shitting/pissing ok i dont think there is anything wrong with it.

Maybe its just an attention seeker

Keep an eye on it though that's all you can do really (other than take him to the vet when it opens)

Sounds silly but if you have moved your furniture around lately it might have also made the dog restless.

He looks cute

hope hes feeling better soon

wyldblyss · 02-11-2004, 05:25 AM

When a dog is sick they usually will not eat or drink, they also tend to go in hiding. In nature it is normal for the "weak" to hide so they are not eaten. He could just need attention. Personally I never take chances though and would rather just bring the dog in for a quick check-up. Better safe than sorry.

OMG he is so cute. Looks more like a Pit. My pit passed away 1 and half ago and I recently lost my dobie this week.

mindoza · 02-11-2004, 08:16 AM

he must want to get your attention over something! maybe there is a dead body or a stalker in your backyard?

One way to tell is if their nose is NOT wet. A dogs nose is or should ALWAYS be wet/moist.

Yup... Mine hits me with his rope, or drops his ball in my lap when I work too much and ignore him.

pimplink · 02-11-2004, 10:04 AM

You can tell by their nose... if its dry, that MAY (not always) be a sign that there's a problem.

They eat grass because it irritates their stomache and makes them throwup; doggy form of sticking your fingers down your throat.

Cheers,
Matt

Carrie · 02-11-2004, 10:15 AM

Sounds to me like he just needed to go outside urgently and wanted to get your attention.

If he's eating, peeing, and pooping normally, his nose is wet and he's not acting listless or achy, then he's probably fine. Just wanted to go out really bad.
