Re: [pyrnet] Behavior Question - Need Help!

["Susan Irving" <sirving@rogers.com>]

One of my pyrs had lymphoma and the other one has just been diagnosed with 
bone cancer. In both instances they wanted to lie down outside at night and 
not come in the house, even in the pouring rain when previously they had 
always come in willingly. Those were about the first signs along with being 
a little less energetic, although because they were both 6 years old at the 
time, I thought the less energy was just an age thing.  After that with the 
first one, Jasmine, it was drooling a lot and laboured breathing.  With my 
present pyr, Seamus, it has been a slight intermittent limp which is why I 
took him to the vet. He still runs and plays and if it were not for the 
x-rays that show the cancer, one would never suspect that anything was wrong 
with him.
Anyway I don't want to make you panic, only to make you aware that sometimes 
even the smallest changes in habits should be monitored.
