Hi all,

My 5 1/2 month pup is getting a lot of teeth in right now. I have noticed that since Saturday she has been less energetic than she normally is. She doesn't seem sick per se, but she isn't playing as long and isn't nearly as hyper as she normally is? I thought it was teething, but I wanted to run it by the rest of you and see if this behavior was normal for your puppies? I should also add that she recently had a bladder infection and was treated for that, but now the vet found elevated white blood cells in her follow up urine culture so she will go in Friday to get urine through a needle and follow up there. She never acted more tired when she had a bladder infection the first time, she just peed a lot more than usual. She isn't peeing more than usual anymore. I hesitate to think she is feeling a little under the weather from a bladder infection when she showed none of these signs with her first bladder infection, but I am really not sure if lower than normal energy could be teething or maybe is the bladder infection or something else entirely. Did any of your puppies seem more tired when teething?

Thanks!
