Better safe than sorry.
Take your dog to the vet.

Take your dog to the vet! I just lost a 13 year old Yorkie due to pancreatittus. Dogs don't always display how much pain they are in. Acting a little weird may mean tremendous discomfort.

Buy him a chew bone or give him some real food and make the dog happy.
Give the dog a stuff animal also.
If the dogs appetitie dont increase, go to the vet.

I would take him to the vet ASAP. If he has a distended stomach, which is a sign of not eating, you don't want to waste any time. It could also be possible there is something blocking his stomach (those items they eat even though they shouldn't like rocks). Not eating is definitely not normal behavior. A vet bill will may suck but having to put your pet to sleep will be worse.

You obviously have your doubts and you're the only one who knows him best! If you feel he's not his normal self and you feel worried about this, then a trip to the vet for a check up, even if it turns out to be nothing, will put your mind at rest.

I think you should: what is the harm? If there is nothing wrong, one measly vet's bill is better than risking your dog's life if there is something serious. There may be a brain tumor or something that affects the way he acts... be safe and take action!

The best thing to do is to call a 24 hour vet and get their opinion.

Take him. How does his nose feel? Wet? Clamy? Cold?
Is he poopin normal? Constipated? Do you give him rawhides? Our Lab was like that. Ended up being she was constipated form the rawhides. A couple servings of Karo syrup fixed her right up
