Pippa doesn't seem quite herself the last few days, either hyper out on walks (so much so I think will have to limit to around the garden only - had to get her by the scruff earlier and carry her home when she started to go loopy on the way back from school - only 2mins away) or wanting to sleep when at home (but not lethargic, will rouse easily if she thinks you are going anywhere).
Have spoken to my sister who is a vet and she suggested she may be coming into season - not noticed any spotting yet but she is a black dog so not the easiest to see and my attempts at wiping with a tissue not the easiest as she LOVES to eat tissues! Need to have a proper check later once she wakes up again (feels too mean to wake her)- she suggested gently pulling the vulva apart to look inside where she can't lick (she has been licking that area more recently).
She is 9.5months so about the right sort of time I suppose. Have read the sticky at the top of the forum but it doesn't stop you worrying does it!
Took her to the beach on Saturday and she had a great time racing around like a looney but showed an interest in sniffing dogs bottoms for the first time ever... (never out of sight!) Sunday I was working so hubby was in charge, monday was ok (agility was cancelled anyway), tuesday was the first real day she was funny on her walk and since I was feeling ill we didn't go to obedience, yesterday was only a short walk as well due to me feeling rough and thats about it.
We did try her on different food recently but have switched her back to what she was OK on before. Eating & drinking OK. Not sure what else to check for!
