Avise again please.

I may be worrying unecessarily about Lily but I am not sure what to do. She seems depressed quiet not full of life. She is off her food and after short bursts of excercise seems exessively out of breath. I took her to the vets last week but felt foolish vet just gave tablets for water infection and ear drops. I am not satisfied with vet and am considering taking her somewhere else but dont want to seem like I am fussing about nothing please help. Thank you.

How old is Lily?  Could she be coming into season? 
The symptoms sound similar to my girls when they are at varying stages of their season.

She is nearly 3. She has been speyed although I did consider it could still be something to do with her season thanks for the reply.

also the water infection along with her ears could be causing her to not be her normal self. 
if it was me i would give her another couple of days & see how she is then.  If you are not happy though perhaps consider taking her to a different vets.    is there anyone that could recommend an alternative vet locally? 

[lilylulu]

I have a recommendation for another vets think I will take her tommorrow I hate to see her looking so sad not like Lily at all.

 You know your dog and if you think things are not right you have every right to ask for a second opinion or go elsewhere.If they tested for water infection and it was positive then these can be fairly painful for them and so she probably would be a bit down in the dumps .I hope she is soon feeling more herself.Good luck .

They tested her water and found a slight increase in the protein level. I understand that it must be hard being a vet as they can only talk to the owner but I still feel there is something wrong can dogs get depressed sounds unlikely but that is how she seems.
