Characteristics of a dog teething?
I have a German Pursue around 16 weeks of age, and she is completely up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative that also deworms her digestive expanse, and on comfortis. Yesterday we noticed she wasn't eating as she normally does but no other cause for any concerns. This morning she didn't seem as energetic nor did she dig into her food. Upon further inspection of her kennel, I found that sometime last night she had puked up her food from yesterday and she had some diarrhea. She is still playful but seems a bit more clingy than typical. Her nose is dry which leads me to suspect she has a fever, and all the other behaviors are consistent with my 19 month old baby when he was teething, He stopped eating the way he normally had, clone up and diarrhea and a fever. So I am wondering, is this something that could be caused by her teething. I noticed she wants to chew on my hands a lot more than natural when I was checking her out. Also, though, could it be a seperation anxiety as we always let her out of the kennel when we get up in the mornings, and about 90% of the time she travels to town with us. Well over the good old days 3 or 4 days it came some bad storms that knocked down a lot of trees and for her safety we have only allowed her out on a leash and just for a daily step whereas she normally would be allowed to run free around our yard playing with everyone, we have been outside working on clearing the trees from being threatening but still have a ways to go but is this something that could cause this type of behavior?
She is completely up to date on everything and I don't understand what if anything else could be wrong because she is getting to the projection where she has to begin teething.
I am just wondering, has your dogs ever gotten kind of sick when they were teething?
This sounds mad, but today, I fixed it where she could safely play in my baby's play area, I brought her food and qualify with her, as we were all there, she actually started eating. I am thinking the couple days of seperation, coupled with the fact that I increased her feeding b/c she was acting craving became of this. I doubled her food, and I htink she ate quite a bit and some of it gave her diarrhea and she probably overate making her strike one bad and she puked a lot of it up. She was 100% back to normal while we were with her and she only ate half her food so this led me to think the doubling of her food was wrong motive she stopped almost halfway through her bowl and wouldn't go back to it.
