| Is my dog in danger?
Hello all,
Today, I went about things as I normally do before I leave for school, making sure the dog was inside, locking the front door, etc. But I forgot to lock the back door, and my dog opened it and got out. I left at 3pm and came home around 8:30, but didn't notice anything wrong until I listened to my answering machine at around 10:45... seems my neighbor called at 6:30 and said my dog was soaking wet walking around his yard. I then see the slightly open door and rush outside to find my dog, and I see it walking around my backyard. She was soaking wet (it's been raining on and off for the past 5 hours), and appeared to be extremely fatigued, walking very slowly, no tail wagging, didn't respond to her name, etc. I took her inside and me and a friend towel her off and use a blow dryer to get her dry and warm. I offered food and water but she won't touch either. Now she's just laying in one spot with her eyes open, breathing heavily and not moving around.
I checked for wounds and anything else out of the ordinary and she didn't look like she had any physical problems except for the exhaustion.
Is this simply a case of an extremely fatigued and exhausted dog, or could something more serious/threatening be a possibility? I'm hoping she will fall asleep, get a good night's rest and awake rejuvenated in the morning.
Any advice/input is greatly appreciated, thanks. |
