Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 7 years and 4 months old
Hi my dog hasn’t been acting like herself lately, she’s been really anxious and does like these breathless whines, I’m not sure what I should do. She doesn’t want to drink water nor have I seen her drink water.. her ears have been up like on alert or something for a longer period of time. Please help I’m really worried. This is her

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sophie. I am worried about her, she does sound like she is sick. It's also serious that she won't drink water, which will quickly lead to her being dehydrated. Without seeing her in person, I can't say what is going on with her, so I recommend taking her into a vet today for a health check. Best of luck.
