This has proably being talked about befor. I have a 9 year old gsd who stays inside most of the time but usually sleeps outside during colder months. This has never being an issue until this year when he is practically refusing to go out. Outside temps usually 20-30 at night and when he sleeps inside our basement the temp stays 70-75 due to wood heat. I have tried to keep door cracked and also run fan. But I just simply do not believe 75 is a good temp for a 100lb gsd? Should I simply get tough and make him go out at night as he has done for the past 9 years? Or allow him to stay in? My fear is this high temp is bad for his health and once he is use to it putting him back out might cause problems?
Also I have noticed alot of matter in both his eyes for the past few months? Is this a inside issue? Possibly a an running causes this?
