Why is my dog acting weird, clingy, hiding, whimpering, and barking?

Question

My dog has been acting weird lately. She's been very clingy with her toys, she has been hiding away from everyone, and she has been whimpering and barking at everything. I don't know what is going on. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 6 months old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Callie. If she is starting her next heat cycle, this can result in behavior changes. Otherwise I have had patients display odd behaviors when they are experiencing a respiratory tract infection. Monitor for any coughing or sneezing as this would be another sign of an infection. Finally, she could be painful somewhere. She will likely need to see her veterinarian for a diagnosis and if any treatment is required. I hope this information helps!
