Four symptoms that say... the dog is depressed.

Friends, you know, not only people can have depression, but dogs can also fall into "pet depression," which is mainly rooted in chronic stress, moving house, losing members, or being trapped in the same square room for too long. The horror is that they can't tell us, so slaves have to observe these four reminders before their love's physical and mental health breaks down.

.

1... "from being addicted... to being separated to a quiet corner" (Social Withdrawal) 🚪 📉

.

Usually when we come back from work, the dog often wags his tail at the door or comes in to sleep, right? But all of a sudden, these behaviors disappear.

👉 * * Symptoms to know: * * You will start to separate from the group, ignore the environment around you, and choose to lie quietly curled up under your desk, under your bed, or in a dark room alone. Even if you call your name or try to invite you, you will just look at your eyes and sleep.

2. "Lick your paws or bite your tail repeatedly until the flesh is red" (Stereotypic Self-Grooming) 🐾 🩸

.

Many slaves see dogs sleeping, licking their paws, often thinking that they are just cleaning their bodies or just sleeping, licking, enjoying, but if doing too often to become obsessive, be careful.

✔️ * * Symptoms to know: * * In pet psychology, repeated paw licking or tail nibbling, snapping your hips until hair falls and red flesh, is a self-soothing behavior for the body to secrete endorphins to reduce distress in the heart, which if left to develop into obsessive-compulsive behavior and chronic self-harm.

3. "Tired of your favorite menu, weight loss until you see the ribs" (Appetite & Weight Changes) 🍖 📉

.

It's a big thing for almost all dogs, but when they get into depression, the digestive system and the chemicals in the brain that control hunger work immediately.

👉 * * Symptoms to know: * * * From the ears running around eating rice, when pouring food back to sniff and turn away, even the favorite snack that I liked very much would not eat or eat in just two words and left to lose weight quickly, the hair began to dry, rough, without shine. This sign says that your mind is so bad that it affects your body.

4. "Sleep day and night, or the clock of life is distorted." (Changes in Sleep Patterns) 🛏️ 💤

.

Granted, normal dogs sleep quite a lot each day, but for depressed dogs, sleep patterns change so abnormally that slaves notice.

👉 * * Symptoms to know: * * You will be lying on your bed for almost 24 hours a day, not getting up to walk around the house, not paying attention to mice outside the window, or vice versa. Some may have insomnia, restlessness at night, walking around with anxiety, alternating with moaning, quiet in the dark, because the mind is not calm enough to sleep.

⭐ * * Slave Reminder: * * The dog's heart wound needs a remedy not different from the physical wound. If you find that your love in the house has depression, don't leave it for him to face alone. Try taking your brother out for a walk, sniffing out of the house, touching the light sun, and giving him love, warmth, so that the little four-legged heart will come back alive and smile again. 💖
