Why is my dog agitated, restless, and avoiding walks and other dogs?

Question

My dog has been acting very strange! She will get really agitated at times and won’t stop walking around the house and doesn’t want to lay down. Then when I take her out for a walk she doesn’t want to walk far and she gets scared to get close to any other dogs. She’s never been this way before & she’s also has been deaf since she was born.

Hello, thank you for your question about Sasha. Some of the symptoms that you are describing such as agitation and reluctance to lie down/walk normally could be secondary to pain/discomfort. Dogs can be uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. I would recommend having Sasha seen by your veterinarian so that they can examine her and try to localize the source of her pain. Hope this helps!
