Question:
I have a 9 month old American Bulldog/Border Collie mix. He is insanely active but has been sleeping/letharic the last couple of days and seems to have some trouble standing after laying down or keeps sitting down like there is a problem in his lower back area and when he is moving walks with his back legs held apart and keeps his tail down. He went to doggie daycare on thursaday and when I picked him up that day is when the symptoms started. He has also been sneezing/snorting constantly since then and has clear runny nose. He has had a problem with eye reddness and conjunctivitis almost since I got him which the vet said was probably allergies and I give him antibacterial/cortizone cream for when it is bad. I was wondering if these are symtoms that could all be part of a larger illness or if they are probably separate problems. Like mild hip dysplaisa that acted up when he was over-active at daycare and keeps sneezing from all the dust there. I called the daycare and they said they hadn't noticed anything happen to him. He has a vet appointment on monday.

Answer:
I am not usre about his back end but could the sneezing etc be kennell cough?

Good Luck!

Answer:
When you go to the vet, I would insist on a blood panel, which will provide you with some important information on the general health of your dog. Has he actually had any allergy testing?
