Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum as I just discovered it yesterday searching for what might be wrong with Gracie - our 2 year old tricolor. We also have a 11 month old Ruby by the name of Sophia.
We got Grace from a less than desirable breeder...she was the last of the litter and the obvious runt of the litter. Since then she's thrived with us...always had a great attitude and as you all know a great snuggler like all Cavs. When we got Sophia last summer, the two became like two peas in a pod.....never left each others side, played all day long.
Lately, Grace has become VERY docile like she's completely terrified by something in the house. She goes to my wife's closet, which is the most remote part of the house and will sit there for hours upon hours....she doesn't want to be by the family and has only been going out to pee when we make her. Also not eating much and just generally not being herself - there are no signs of anything hurting on her or that she is in pain.....she just seems like she's dejected and in the dumps.
Some background info as well. We just installled invisible fencing in our yard....has worked great but could she be scared of this?
Neither Sophie or Grace are fixed and they just spent a week at the beginning of the month in doggie day care. Could this be pre-behavior of a pregnancy? They are supposed to keep the dogs seperate, but I know there were plenty of other cavs at the day care. Is this behavior common in pregnant cavs?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
