why did my old dog suddenly start acting so weird?
I remember the first time my senior dog started acting off. He used to love cuddles, but suddenly, he’d growl if I touched his back. At first, I thought he was just grumpy, but then I noticed he kept licking the same spot on his leg. That’s when I realized something was up.
He also stopped sleeping through the night and would wander around restlessly. His eating habits changed, too—he barely touched his food some days. The weirdest part was how he’d whine for no reason, even when everything seemed fine.
One day, I saw him limping and struggling to get up the stairs. That’s when it hit me: he was hurting and trying to hide it. I took him to the vet, and it turned out he had arthritis. Now, I always watch for these little changes. They’re easy to miss, but they mean everything when it comes to keeping our pets comfortable.
