All of a sudden starting a couple days ago… he didn’t want to go outside in the morning, usually he’s raring to go at 7am or so… stayed in his kennel/bed until like 10:30am… acted like he might have been in a little pain, yipping for no apparent reason occasionally, weird look in his eyes/face. We pretty much left him alone that night and were going to take him to the vet yesterday but he seemed a bit better…
But we noticed he’s acting like he’s scared of both of us or like he did something bad and is ashamed. Like when I call for him he’s doing a real slow perp walk like he did something really bad… Same with my girlfriend, he was excited when she just got home but he wouldn’t come see her, when she called for him he went back to his kennel like he was in trouble for something.
Usually when he has pissed on the kitchen floor which he does from time to time, my gf or I will say “Come here” and then verbally scold him… “Bad dog.” And instead of coming to you he’ll usually just go to his kennel, cause he knows he pissed on the floor and that’s what it’s about… He’s acting kind of the same way but I have no clue as to why.
Maybe he killed something in the backyard?
