jazawayaya Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Lately Banjo has seemed very depressed and sooky.... He has been walking around looking all sooky and hasn't wanted to play or hasn't been getting terribly excited about walks like he usually does. He is also following me around everywhere which is not like him. As I talk he is sitting on my feet. When I was on the couch he was right next to me basically on top of me. Usually he sleeps under the bed or at the end of the bed but the last week he has been right next to me If I am making dinner he will lie right on the floor next to me. He isn't showing any signs of being sick at all... Anybody know what it could be? He does seem to be barking more at sounds that never used to bother him like planes as well... Another thing I have noticed is when he and Luda play fight she is beating him every time- do you think that could make making him depressed? Or am I just looking into the whole thing to much? Can dogs even get depressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 You've split up with your partner haven't you? If your partner is no longer living there he's probably just feeling a bit confused. They can also sense when we are a bit miserable and it can effect them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazawayaya Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 My partner is still here That's a whole other story- but yeah I didn't think of that- maybe he can feel the tension in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 How old is Banjo? Is it possible he's got some residual pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Sounds like he may be picking up on what's going on in the house. If you're worried have a Vet check him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaJ Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I have the same problem here at the moment - and the dogs do feel it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 What's the weather been like in SA? Dogs are picking up on the storms and atmospheric pressure a fair bit at the moment. Something that's probably quite different for them given the majority of them have only known drought conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been funny - most of the time Charlie can hear a storm coming but the last few days it's taken him by surprise. Again today warm and sunny - but yesterday started the same way. They definitely pick up on storms - not just the atmospheric ones either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
