Something is definitely wrong with Otto. We were laying on the couch together when my boyfriend came home and Otto had just woke up from a long nap. He had eaten before the nap so no water prior to the nap. I decided to take him out right away to keep him from whining to go out (totally other topic). Well we went outside he peed the tiniest bit and didn't appear to be sniffing at all to poop. I prompted him to come inside. He didn't seem to want to, although he never does so I didn't think anything of it.
He is 6 months old and has selective hearing. Was doing very well with commands a month ago so I thought it was his age and just maintained that he had to listen before he was rewarded at all. To come in the apartment door, I always have him sit and stay and then "with me". Well he didn't come when I said with me and same when my bf tried. I was a lot more stern with him and made him come inside. Cut to the chase -- he is acting so out of character. scared, shaking, stiff, ears back, blank stare, DROOLING (never seen before). I am so worried and do not know what to do. Not responding to kibble CHEESE water at all :*( ....
some more back story - took him out all day yesterday, had a great time. I had to work early this AM .. got up at 330 and with the time change I was all out of whack. wanted to come home today (at 1230 pm) and take little nap before I took him out but that didn't happen because he wanted out and I've definitely been on edge most of the day from lack of sleep.
my boyfriend thinks he may have eaten something on one of our walks and its upsetting his stomach. i dint know about that. I took him out again and walked around and he moved fine, sniffing and trotting a little. coming back inside again there seemed to be something the matter.
also, we have a new tenant downstairs who walks unbelievably loud. bam bam bam bam... but shes been here for a good month now.
sorry for all the rambling just extremely concerned and need help on what to do. Otto has always been a confident dog I've never seen him this way :*(
