I took my dog camping with me saturday night and he had a blast but since ive been home sunday AM he's been sleeping all day, all night and now it's monday AM and he's decided to go back to bed. I have a boxer so this is very odd cause boxers are usually energetic.
He hasnt ate any food or drank any since since ive been home.
Last night he was ancy up and down off the bed.
Does anyone know of any signs that maybe he is sick. He was fine the whole time camping just once we got home he was lifeless.
His nub ( doced tail) is downwards not up, and his nose does seem to be dry but i dont know if that means anything.

It sure sound like he needs a trip the vet's, and as soon as you can. Lethargy and lack of appetite are not symptoms to mess around with. Yes, he is sick.

Was it hot ?
Boxers and other molosser breeds are known to get heat-stroke faster than other breeds. A dry nose... means that he hasn't been drinking enough water, make sure you get that to him right away.. if he's not drinking, take him to the vet. He may have to get an IV. Yes, heat stroke can be prevented... by spraying water from the belly up, or soaking him with cool, wet towels and providing cold water. He is probably sick.. definitely take him to the vet for a check-up.
............OR he could've caught a virus at the site, or gotten into something and it gone into his system when you got home.

I agree with Chetco - the dog sounds ill. Take him to the vets. It's been 24 hours now, that's too long to go without eating and drinking. If it was heatstroke he'd be over it by now.
Always go to a vet if you're worried about an animal - the phrase 'better safe than sorry' was never more relevant.

Trash the beneful. it truly is terrible nutrition. They upload preservatives, and fillers that are no longer healthful for canines. stick to a greater proper form of dry nutrition. try Canadea, Innova, or well being. they're this form of great form of different holistic ingredients that are good for canines, and greater proper for digestion. it truly is not that i'm particular appropriate to the garlic powder nonetheless???? good success
