Vuitton Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Cody is coming up to 6months old and hes always been a pretty quiet puppy. He gets excited when people come to visit or if he sees another dog or people while were out but other than that he looks like he'd cry if he could. Hes so quiet, he doesnt jump around like other puppies just lays down all the time. I am struggling with his toilet training still so have to get up during the night to let him out to try and get him in the habit, when i come downstairs he doesnt even lift his head up and when i open the back door he wont get up i have to physically lift him up and usher him outside when he goes out he has his head hanging and his ears down. He looks so sad, im worried that he is unhappy, i work part time mon-fri, leave the house at 8am, nip home at 2pm for half an hour before i go pick my daughter up from school and get back about 4pm so im concerned hes unhappy about being left alone or that hes just generally unhappy.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 have u had him checked over by a vet 2 make sure its not an underlying problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Miss Bump Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 awww sometimes ozzy does this but usually just when he's knackered or when it's really hot, maybe a trip to the vets is a good idea if they know about husky behaviour? xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'd agree with taking a trip to the vet. There are many health issues which could cause him to act in this manner. As he's six months old, did he exhibit this behavior only recently, or has it been ongoing since you got him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dygosamikita Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I would definitely take him to the vet. Being lethargic is a good indicator of something being wrong. It is generally one of the first symptoms that owners notice. The behaviour your describing doesn't fit any 6 month old puppy I have ever know, especially not an energetic breed like a husky. Hope the little guy is okay and you manage to find out if there is an underlying problem. If there isn't anything going on it might be that he is in need of a friend. Some dogs really do not respond well to being the only dog while some others don't mind it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Does he wag his tail? My huskie is the same, but i just know when he's happy when I see him wag his tail. Try to do more activities with him, walk him, show him tricks, fool around, and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
