If a dog is sluggish then there may be various causes contributing to it, right from anemia to old age. If the dog is limping then you should check for prospective painful areas using a firm and yet gentile hand. Check out for any signs indicating lameness from time to time.
The appetite of the dog is bound to be affected by ill health. Look for any signs of loss of appetite. An important sign of dog health problems is excessive thirst. A pronounced weight loss is also an indicator of ill health. Check the eyes for any ulcers, discharges, veins or sores.
The mouth of a healthy dog is pink. There should not be any discoloring or cavities in the teeth. Look for signs of discharge from ears. It is advisable to clean the ears from time to time. The dog's head should be regularly checked for sore patches, hair loss, or deep wounds.
Investigate the limbs and trunk for the same signs. If the dog is vomiting, there may be various underlying problems. If the body temperature of your dog is not between the range 38 to 39 Celsius it is an indication of some kind of illness. Check the female dogs for any kind of foul smelling vaginal discharge, which needs attention of a vet.

Is Dog pneumonia contagious with Humans?
We recently took in a stray puppy and gave it to a good family, while the dog was with us she was coughing and got sick twice, her new owner took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with pneumonia. I have had pneumonia 4 times in the past and I also have a 2 year old who was in contact with the puppy. Could this be passed on to Humans? Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Getting mixed answers here with dog pneumonia.?
Is dog pneumonia contagious? I keep getting mixed answers on the topic and it's very important for the health of my other dog that I know the answer to this. Thanks!
I have, this guy doesn't seem like he knows anything! I'm scared it could be dog flu or something of that nature and all he'll say is the dog is contageous has pneumonia and needs to go home. He doesn't seem to know what caused it or anything else.
I've had this dog for a week, the first time I took him in they thought it was kennel cough but the meds for that made him worse.
Yes, he's hospitalized and it's cost me $700 dollars so far. Like I said, this vet says he doesn't know what caused it and I'm scared to bring the dog home because I can't afford for my other dog to get sick
The vet told me it was contageous but he doesn't know what caused it (which to me means he doesn't really know that). However, I can't quarentine this dog where I live from my other dog which is why I'm so worried and the vet said he's so contageous that since he is no longer critical they won't keep him at the hospital even if I pay.
I have a great vet here in Indianapolis, but I was visiting my father in Evansville when this happened. To get my dog to my vet in Indy would mean both of my dogs in a car together for 3 hours and if this dog is highly contageous I don't want to risk that.
