My 4 month old puppy is acting very strangely! For the past week she has been crying/whimpering when I try to put her leash on and scratching her neck constantly.
Over the past three days, she has been whimpering and growling when I touch certain areas (mainly her neck/shoulder area, but sometimes her abdomen, as well). At the vet this morning, she did not show many signs of pain, but she was running a fever and the vet did not like the way one of her eyes looked. The vet put her on doxicycline (spelling?) as a precaution because I have recently pulled three ticks off of her.
She has had a couple of spells of lethargy, but doesn't appear to be in any pain except when I touch her. However, she does lower her head when she is standing. Her appetite is normal and she woofs down any and all treats.
Does anyone know what this could be? If anyone has any insight, I would be greatly appreciative if you could help!
