Dog is lethargic and eats and drinks normally
A listless dog indicates that there is something wrong with the dog's body. Being listless will gradually reduce its appetite, and there are early signs of disease, and infectious diseases also have an incubation period. Therefore, owners who appear listless in dogs need to pay special attention. They can observe whether there are any abnormalities in the dog's feces, body temperature, eye and nose secretions, etc. If there are abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to take the dog to the hospital for examination immediately.

This phenomenon may occur in the following situations: sexually mature male (female) dogs who are depressed or have gradually reduced appetite due to physiological anxiety and are looking forward to going out (their mental outlook is obviously different indoors and outdoors); sick dogs In the early stages of development, follow up by observing the excretion situation at home, monitoring body temperature, and palpating for signs of pain.
