[Dailydrool] Signs of dog illness you should recognize

[Hinchliffe at aol.com]

I first knew that there was something wrong with my Blueberry when I  noticed 
a change in her breath -- it smelled metallic.  I immediately  brought her to 
the vet.  As you all know, she was diagnosed immediately  with renal failure 
and we fought for two months to save her, and couldn't.
 
But my vet said that it was really good that I was always watching her for  
any changes.  If it had been something else, early diagnosis might have  saved 
her.
 
She gave me a list of signs of dog illness that everyone should be  aware of 
(don't just blame changes on "getting older"):
 
1.  Lack of appetite.
2.  Less active. 
3.  Weakness.  
4.  Lethargy.
5.  Weight loss.
6.  Drinking more water.
7.  Change in coat  (dull, lusterless).
8.  Bad breath.
 
Hugs to all the furbabies,
