My dog is suddenly lazy, sad, and stretching his neck. What's wrong?

Question

Hello! My dog is a 8 year old mini labradoodle and is normally not SUPER lazy.. Lately he’s been acting really sad and stretching out his neck a lot. He looks very uncomfortable and he’s been really lazy, he also won’t play with our puppy like he normally does. Please help us figure out what’s wrong with him. Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 7 years and 7 months old | 40 lbs

It sounds like Marco may be in pain. Being in pain would lead him to be less active that usual (lethargy) and appear uncomfortable. I'd take him into the vet first thing in the morning. If he is in pain, the vet can diagnose the cause and can give him pain medication. Please do not give him any human pain medication, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Best of luck.
