Question about mood change

**anubisa** · 10 Nov 2022 00:00

Hey everyone,

So I have a question about a mood change. Lily has been a mood change it seems. I don't know if she is having anxiety or what. Whenever we pick her up to get up on the bed she snaps at us. In bed when we wake her up she will growl and snap. It just seems that she has been changing. We are scheduling to see our vet in December and might get her on a pill for anxiety or something, but does anyone have any ideas?

This is a thing the vet has to look at, to make sure the dog isn't feeling some kind of pain from being picked up.

It most likely is anxiety, but your vet needs to make sure.

Hope it is all cool.

Thanks for the information. I think she might be in pain, and I am going to get her for a check up on that as well. I just hope we can get this resolved as soon as possible. Goodness knows that she needs it and we need to find out what is going on. I just hope she gets better soon.

as B said it could be anxiety, but it also sounds very possible she's in pain. If you can at all, maybe try getting her a time before december. that's still quite a long time for the poor thing to be in pain if it's that. Hopefully it's something with a simple sollution.
