I think my Dog is sick and I don't know what to do,, help please!!.?
Hello, I have a purebred JRT smooth type and have him since he was a puppy, he was very healthy and have been up to dates with all his shots and vaccinations. In the past 4 months I've noticed some weight gained (he's walk 3 times a day for an hour each time by a dog walker) and his hair coat is getting very thin, his was sensitive to the cold since puppy but now he is extremely sensitive and in the morning it takes him some time to warm up to go outside. I started taking note of the symptoms and immediately took him to the vet, I had done a little research and told the vet to make sure he test my dog for hypothyroidism (thyroids) and to do all the necessary test to make sure he was ok, all the blood test results came back negative, T4, X-rays everything was fine, that was 2 months ago and my dog is getting worse his back is semi-flat and his belly muscles are getting loose he's also losing appetite and worse of all he doesn't want to do anything but to sleep!, please help!! I don't want to go back to the clinic and spend close to $1000 again so they can tell me all is fine with the dog and when the dog comes home I'm pulling my hair trying to figure out whats wrong with him.
BTW He is 2 years and 2 month old and he's neutered
