Lackluster and sneezing

AthenaClimbs · 11-16-2011, 03:31 PM

So Athena has been sneezing a lot these past couple of days. My mom also noticed that her energy level has been really down during the day. She says she doesn't really want to leave her crate when it's time for her mid-day poop (hehe). And then on the walks, she just seems lackluster and fatigued. I suggested taking her to a vet this weekend but my dad says she probably has a cold that will fade on it's own. I don't think a vet visit will hurt but it may turn out to be really costly if for nothing.

I'm in Brooklyn, NY and it's starting to get chilly. We had one day of a freak snow storm, where she played in the snow and ate some (

).

What do you think? She's 5 months.

It's only around $40 to have a dog checked here. Sometimes if the vet didn't do anything they don't even charge us.

Since she is sneezing AND her energy level is way down, I would rather be safe than sorry. Better to see the vet now and have something minor treated (potentially) than to wait and have to treat something much more expensive. Puppies can go downhill very quickly.
