RE: Sick Dog? Sometimes All You Have to Do is Patiently Wait

My dog is usually super excited to get out of bed, because usually the first thing I do is let her go outside. But that day, she didn't get up. I tried to excite her by saying, "do you wanna go outside?!?" That usually gets her excited, not this time. Then I bought her to the living room and she would walk slow and she acted like she wanted to lay on the couch, but couldn't jump up there. She ate and drank water though too. What would most have you guys done? Waited to see if she still acted the same the next morning? I debated it a lot in my head, I wasn't sure if I was overreacting to take her in that fast, but ultimately I decided better safe than sorry.
Good call! When it's out of the ordinary, you should definitely go to the vet.
Two months ago, I saw Chooey twitching her jaws and tilting her head sideways. I brought her immediately to the vet. I didn't even wait for an hour too. There we discovered that she had a broken mandible. Had we brought her a little later, the pain from that broken mandible might have worsened and punctured her skin.
