It's a Cairn terrier about 10 years old. During its walks it will flop down and not move for a minute or so. It's also off its food and when it get in after the walk it goes and lies under a bed most of the day.
I remember the vet examined it soon after we got it and said it might develop joint problems. This could be the start of that. I guess a trip to the vet is called for.
Unlikely to be joint problems making it flop down and not move. More likely to be the heat, or maybe a slight heart problem. Vet will be able to check. Is it overweight? That won't help if it is.
Sandy ..do you have an update on your little dog ? Was it just heat related ? We had Cairns when I was growing up, tons of personality, dear little dogs. Hope all is well
Seekeers, I think it was the heat was getting to her. It was a lot cooler here yesterday and today than it had been and when she was out she was pulling at her lead and enjoying a decent walk.
my little pug has been struggling too sandy. so its short walk in the morning and a long one in the evening when its cooled down a bit for us. Glad he's ok now. They are a worry aren't they?
