Dog Depression Discussions
April 18th, 2009
If there's one thing dog lovers recognize, it's that our best animal friends--while very different from us--are strikingly similar to people in many ways. A case of the blues, and even outright depression, is but one more malady we share. As humans, we can rationalize our feelings, try to...
 | My dog kenneth has depression, me & my boyfriend moved in together in september and ever since then kenny has been different. He was surrounded by three other dogs at my parents house & kenny LOVED my dad. But since we moved, kenny doesn't interact with me anymore. Playing is very short-lived. He sleeps all day. I sometimes have to get him to eat by putting a treat on the food. I take him back to my parents house once a week but that isn't good enough for him. I'm really at a loss at what to do. My bf wants to get another dog but we have a very tight budget. I play, & entice him but he never reciprocates and doesn't seem interested in much even if another dog is around. He loses interest quickly. I feel bad but I'm not sure what to do! about 1 month ago by mfambrou |
| Our poor dog lost her (and our) best friend in March and she is so very depressed. She just sleeps and has no energy any more.... she looks sad too :( She has never been a highly social dog so getting another dog (which is often others suggestions) will not work for her. I have tried walking, running, playing more. She is just so sad :( about 1 month ago by Eleanor |

| My dog Rose just wants to sleep all the time, she is an airdale puppy just over 18months now, she had her season and our area is full of dogs. we had male dogs peeing on our gate, barking allthe time. we decided we would just play with her in the garden and i didnt want her to mate. since then she just has no energy. was it wrong for me not to take her out properly? she is not on heat anymore and am starting taking her around the fields again but she doesnt seem the same. she still loves food, is not loosing weight and drinks plenty... i dont no if im just being paranoid. ? 11 months ago by georgie |
