OK, so technically she's my roommate's dog. She's a lapdog and she's pretty old. Lately, she's been acting weird. She just lays around with this sad look on her face all day. When we try and take her outside, she just cowers until we take her back in. She's never played much, but she at least used to walk around when we took her out. She's not been eating much either. I've seen her eat one slice of cheese in the last few days and that's it. DH keeps finding her in secluded spots, like under the desk or behind the bed, lying very still and barely breathing.
We're also worried about her behavior. She snapped at DS when he was trying to get her to play (he was a bit in her face though). The weird thing is that she attacked DH's foot the other day. He took her outside to pee and she cowered there for a minute and he walked over to her and she attacked his foot pretty viciously. Good thing DH was wearing steel-toe boots at the time.
We're really worried that this behavioral change means she's dying. It's going to crush my roommate. Should we try and get RM to take her to the vet?
