Sleepy Doggy
My dog has been sleeping a lot more during the day than usual and i dunno why. She isn't feeling up to going out to play or anything either. I am worried. Will this stop soon? She is 9 years old though and she is healthy too. What is wrong?

As dogs get older, they will be less energetic. A nine year old dog is like a 50 year old man. They're both still spry and capeable, but usually prefer sleeping on the couch to romping around outside. You may want the vet to look your dog over to make sure there aren't any problems. This is the age when you start seeing things like hip displasia, which can make your animal hesitant to be active.

well she could be having puppies or she could have heart worms which could be released in to her blood stream and sh ecould pass away take her to the vet right away

your dog may be tired more than usual because she is getting older, she may have arthritus, and older dogs need more sleep. go to the vet and get it checked for arthritus, if the vet says she doesnt have it, its just because shes too tired and getting older!
Hope i helped! if ya need anything else drop it in the inbox!!

Well, your dog is getting older. If you get concerned - don't hesitate to send her to the vet incase something is wrong. <3 Steph

She's getting old. 9 years is pretty old for a dog. When dogs get older even a month can make a lot of difference in they're health. Give her doggy vitamins daily, and you will just have to try harder to get her up to play. When you go outside run around with her and throw the ball for her and just play with her a lot more. She might not be quite as energetic, but she'll be happier that your spending more time with her and wont be as depressed.

She probably gets tired easily because she's old. But, at times she's really playful huh? That's the exact same thing that happens to lil pups. It's kinda the same thing. Hope this helps! Latas!

Well, it probably means that she's sick. My dog is full of life, but when he gets sick, all he wants to do is go hide in a corner and sleep. Tell your folks that you don't think your dog's feeling well and maybe if she doesn't get more active within a few days to go get a check up on her.
If there's nothin wrong with her, it simply means she's aging, nothing wrong with that, just give her plenty of excersize and keep her active!
