How do u know if your dog is depressed or sick.?

Tyson was in the pet hotel for a week, had three play dates with other dogs. He is 1 and before he went in, was very enegetic, wanted to play all the time. I never actually seen him just relax and chill out, he was always in to everything. Now since he is home, he is not the same. He just mopes around the house. The same food that was in his bowl in the morning was there when I returned. He spits outs his treats. When he go out to use the bathroom, he comes back immediately, which he did not do before, I would have to go and get him. I tried pressing on his stomach to see if I would get a reaction, but nothing happened. He looks so sad, and he is making me sad. Should I take him to the vet?How do u know if your dog is depressed or sick.?
Take him to the vet. My dog just passes away last Friday and she was doing the same thing. She loved treats more than any dog I've ever had and when she spit it out we knew something was wrong. 4 days after stopping eating, she was going. Please have the dog checked out.



If the vet says everything is ok. Maybe the dog is depressed and would like more doggie friends to play with.How do u know if your dog is depressed or sick.?
Yes, take him to the vet!!!!
To be safe I would take him to the vet to rule out anything that could be wrong. Maybe he misses playing or maybe he has kennel cough?



Have you tried playing with him to see if that cheers him up?



I hope the vet can help!
I've always heard that when the dogs nose is dry then it's sick. And when it's always laying down and you can see a certain level of apathy in their eyes that's when they're depressed.
Your dog is depressed, dear! when was with other dogs, not is seems his new place isn't agreable for him... he is very sad!



Can take it back his friends/dogs? maybe ask opinion to the vet!
Why are you pressing on his stomach? What do you think will happen if you press on a dog's stomach? Dog's are so sensitive. I think that's why they're great companions. Yeah, he may be sad or upset because he was away from you for a week. Dogs love routine so being away for a week probably threw him off. Give him lots of love. Try feeding him his food by sitting down with him and hand feeding him. Just to show him every thing's okay. If he doesn't eat for a couple of days, then I'd bring him to a vet. My dog comes right in after going to the bathroom because it's cold outside now. Maybe that's Tyson's thoughts too.
How long have you had him back home? If it hasn't been but a day or two, give it a another day or two (barring any obvious symptoms of illness, of course) before calling your vet. Sometimes dogs have a little difficulty adjusting going to a kennel for the first time and consequently aren't quite themselves when they come home. Call the boarding kennel and ask if he had any trouble there (e.g. did he eat ok, activity level normal, etc.). Give him lots of your time and attention (perhaps a few short training sessions with some play time, walks, etc. will help him re-adjust to his old routine). Good luck.
