My dog ??is so "lazy" recently. He seems listless. I don't know what's going on. Is he sick or something? I'm worried.

The word "lazy" does not exist in the dog's dictionary. Even if you lend it your dictionary, it won't understand. Dogs are born to be workaholics - although different types of dogs have different jobs, some are dedicated to making people happy, some are search masters, and some are professional riot control... but in general, under normal circumstances, they do not know how to "swallow" "Bubble" (Cantonese, meaning lazy). You have only heard people say "snake yellow", but have you ever heard someone say "dog yellow"?

So once you find that your dog suddenly becomes depressed, listless, and lazy to move, it is very likely that the dog has begun to become ill. There is no need to ask the dog "Are you sick?", all you need is to observe carefully. If such a dog has less appetite than usual and appears lethargic at the same time, it can basically be concluded that the dog is not feeling well. If you pay attention, you will find that dogs at this time especially like to hide in dark corners. This is because when they are sick, all animals like to hide in dark places to recover and heal. Those places will make them feel safe.

In addition to being lazy, dogs frequently drinking water or barking unusually are also symptoms of discomfort. Of course, now that the weather is getting hotter, your dog will drink more water, but don’t misunderstand that it’s uncomfortable. The difference lies in the word "frequently". What is considered “frequent”? In fact, it is easy to distinguish. Generally, dogs will leave the water source to do other things after drinking water, and will not come back to drink water until they are thirsty next time. A sick dog will: walk away as soon as he drinks the water, and then turn back and continue drinking within a few steps. The occurrence of such a situation fully shows that the dog does not drink water because of thirst.
