My dog has been super depressed lately, she just lays under the bed. & she hardly comes out all day, & when she does.. I try to play with her, & she growls at me. Shes never done this to me before. So, I'm thinking about getting one of those dog pyschics..
so, i'm just wondering, do you think they work? I mean I don't believe it that much, but I'm to the point where I'll accept help from anyone.
Has your dog ever done this?
If so, how long does it last?

Only you have the background information on your dog and the ability to change its environment. If you need, I would suggest seeing a dog behaviorist (MUCH different from a "psychic") who might know possible causes of your dogs depression and can offer valuable information to making her feel better. ^^
Dog behaviorist= good
psychic = unnecessary waste of money

You can read your dogs signals however---by knowing your dog and knowing the general canine body language A dog who is in pain will hide. This is natural instict because in the wild they are very vulnerable when they are sick or injured, often other pack members will attack them, and certainly any preditors will. The sick dog is also protecting the pack this way too, it's like saying "move on, don't let me hold you back" Survival of the fittest.
A lot of dogs will not even show symptoms of pain because they have to remain stoic for survival. So by the time the dog does show outward symptoms they are not feeling well at all.
