My 5-month old terrier mongrel has woken up looking very stiff and he feels quite hot. He's not touched his food (which isn't overly unusual, he's not a greedy dog) but he just doesn't seem 'himself'. He usually comes and sits with us on his beanbag in the sitting-room, but now he's gone to lie down on his own in his cage in the kitchen
Should I be worried or is this quite normal (ie. should I wait 24 hrs to see how he is before taking him to the vet?) Not trying to shirk off my owner-responsibilities, but I have an 18month old and am 8 months pregnant so if I can avoid an unnecessary trip to the vet then all the better.
Anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.
