My puppy lost its enthusiasm?
My 6 m/o puppy (cocker) is a handful but today he's lost all his usual enthusiasm. He only had one bite out of his food, he didn't pull on his leash as he used to, he would even take a break in the middle of our walk to lay down in the grass, he doesn't get excited when we tease him with his favourite toys and he sleeps more then usual. I took his temperature and it's normal. My worry is that he's scheduled to be neutered tomorrow morning. If he doesn't have a fever, his nose is wet and cool maybe I'm just over worrying right?

It could be a lot of things...he might have a virus or have eaten something that didn't agree with him. The weather might be affecting him. When you take him in tomorrow morning just make sure they are aware of the changes and they can make the call on what to do, and if they go ahead with the procedure they'll know to monitor him closely.
okay he may be sick but what i would do is try to get him to eat and drink and keep him company. Call your vet and tell him about it and if he isnt doing the neutering tomorrow ask him if it is okay to still do that and when you go tomorrow tell the vet that will be doing it what happened today.
Good Luck!!
Fell better Puppy!! :) :(
Yup, you are just over worrying. You are probably acting different or weird and he knows something is up so he is reacting to the way you are acting. You act normal and he'll mirror normal back to you.
well give it another day and if things still go wrong i sudjest you take him to a vet. but somtimes puppys go on and off like that soo.. i wouldnt be to worried.
maybe he has something wrong with his teeth if hes not eating. but other then that, he probably just knows something is about to happen. he'll get better. and its natural to think your overworrying when it comes to your pets.
Has your pup had all it's shots?
if no....i would suggest you get your pup to a vet ASAP, and have him tested for Parvo.
