My puppy is acting strange after vacation. Is it stress or sickness?

This may be from the stress of a new routine since you had to leave him. For some dogs, it is not uncommon for them to get lethargic and even have a decreased appetite due to changes like this. If he is not back to normal with in 24 hours of your normal routine again, then I would have him checked by your vet

That's a difficult situation! It could be the two changes in environment is a little stressful for him, and he may need a few more days to settle back into his normal routine. Dogs can get stressed when they leave home for a bit, stay in a new place, and then are returned to their normal home. I would give him a few more days to see if he returns to normal, and if he doesn't, I would take him into the vet for an exam. Sometimes, a medical illness such as an infection or injury can cause a dog to act differently from normal, and it would be good to rule that out if he's not back to himself in another couple of days.

It can be the adjustment to the new home, as it is stressful, but it would be good to have Kylo checked out by a vet to be safe. A sudden change in behavior from the normal can be due to a medical problem, such as an injury, and it's alway good to rule that out. If he's still acting differently, I would take him into the vet tomorrow.

Poor Bear! It’s so hard to know sometimes what is causing them to be that way. It could be something he heard that caused him to be anxious. You’ll likely never know. Try to distract him with play or a long walk. If you can burn off some energy, that helps the brain to move forward and forget the anxiety. Do watch him very closely for any signs of illness, some dogs can react that way if they don’t feel good. Watch his eating habits and pay attention to any signs of lethargy, vomiting or loose stool. If you see those, then I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Poor Bear. He sounds sick, and his symptoms could be caused by a systemic illness, infection, or injury. I'm concerned this is going on, and I think it's best you take him into a vet today. To help diagnose what is causing his symptoms, the vet can do a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis. Once a cause is found, the vet can discuss treatment options. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bear. She should see a veterinarian if her symptoms continue. She could have ate something that has upset her stomach, she could have intestinal parasites or a more serious viral infection (vaccines are designed to prevent these). Her veterinarian will likely start with fecal testing and decide on a treatment plan from there. It is easy for puppies to become dehydrated. Continue to offer her small amounts of food and water every few hours. I hope this information helps!

Hi. Poor Colby. It definitely sounds like something is wrong, she may not feel well, have pain somewhere, not reacting to stress well, and much more. I'd get her checked out tomorrow. They will do an exam make sure everything is ok on outside. I would have them check her anal glands as well. Sometimes when that are full, it can make them act very odd. If the exam and anal glands are normal, then lab work and x-rays would be next, hope she feels better soon.
