All Natural Herbs For When Your Dog is Lethargic

All Natural Herbs For When Your Dog is Lethargic

Firstly, if your dog is lethargic suddenly, consult your veterinarian right away. Lethargy may be a sign of serious health conditions.

Secondly, if after seeking help from your pet’s veterinarian, and serious medical issues are ruled out, you still notice your dog is lethargic, consider other issues.

Your vet will likely give your pet a thorough physical examination. Additionally, they will ask questions about your dog’s behavior and medical history.

Next, they may run diagnostic tests, such as blood, urine and fecal tests. Lastly, your veterinarian may perform x-rays, imaging scans and an electrocardiogram to check for heart problems.

Why Your Dog is Lethargic

If your pet has started a new medication, this may be an obvious cause why your dog is lethargic. For example, a new flea or worm product may cause dog lethargy.

Infection

Most importantly, your veterinarian will rule out infections. For example, these may include parvovirus, distemper, kennel cough or leptospirosis.

Anemia

Firstly, anemia is typically caused by parasites. For example, a flea infection or intestinal parasite may cause anemia.

Disease

Next, your veterinarian will rule out disease.

Firstly, they will check for heart problems, liver problems, diabetes, and hypoglycemia.

Secondly, they will check for diarrhea, hypothyroidism, or tumors.

Poison

Toxic foods, such as garlic and onions, may cause dog lethargy.

Emotional disturbances

Emotional or physical pain, or trauma, may be causing your dog to become lethargic. For example, just like humans, dogs can become depressed.

Your pet may be depressed if you notice them:

  • Being less playful
  • Licking their paws
  • Losing their appetite
  • Being less social.
