Our 13 year old Boxer x staffy bitch has, in the last two weeks, become very unsettled and has lost quite alot of weight. She wanders backwards and forwards continuously through the day and night. When left on her own she gets very stressed and pants a lot. have you got any ideas on what to do because this is a very worrying unnatural behavior?

Thanks

If she were mine, I would take her to the vet.

Her behaviour could suggest that she's in pain and the weight loss, together with the other symptoms, is quite worrying.

Good luck with her.

the age should tell you to go see a vet, it could settle in a while but if it dosnt and being 13 it could be a big mistake not seeing a vet. what would you do if it was your 90 yr old mother or father? kind regards.
