I'm not sure what the problem is; but my Sam's certainly not himself this morning.

He's eaten his breakkie with no problems, but he's low in salts somehow. He can't be bothered to do alot. He just about mustered up the energy to take a 'milky bone' from me! :unsure: They are his absolute favourites. :wub:

We had a lovely long walk yesterday in the woods for over two hours - BUT it was darn hot! Perhaps it's that? Thought though really he would suffer for it yesterday rather than this morning - he was fine at the time, and had a terrific time. Maybe it's just the general heat & humidity of late that he's fed up with.

I'm gonna take him out real soon for a short half an hour's walk. I'll see how it goes.....

:luck: :luck:

My dogs too look 'fagged out' in the heat of the day. They are much more energetic when its cooled down later in the day.

Make sure they have plenty water to hand - mine like a dip in the river each day. :thumbsup:

Hope it is JUST the heat and nothing more. :thumbsup:

Agree with Janis I think it's this heat :sweating: hope he's ok later on :luck:

Didnt think of that Lesley - thought most people had a river Well a paddling pool is the next best thing, or the garden hose or in Alfyns case... (dead jealous) the Beach :- " :- "

It sounds to me as though he's a bit dehydrated .Get some electrolytes down him.

I put them in my dogs water bowl when the weathers hot.

Hope he feels better soon :thumbsup:

Janis,you're more than welcome to come to the beach with me anytime,though you might have to travel a bit further than i do :lol: I'm taking my gang down there later,might even take the camera with me too

Seems it was/is the weather. PHEW!!!!

Sam was fine during the first part of the walk; but flagged a bit later on. All signs are with the heat. Thankfully too, he actually WANTED to go out - that's usually a fairly good indication with him.

I've got to go out for the afternoon; that's why I was a bit concerned. I feel better now.

:cheers:

Do keep an eye on him though,dehydration can make them quite poorly.I wouldn't let him do much in this hot weather & only walk him when it's cooled down in the evening

I understand what you're saying totally . . . . .
