Think my sheltie is depressed

There's also Lyme disease that can cause the symptoms you described. Not as likely in the cooler months but it does happen. You might ask your vet to do a Lyme test on him.

Good thought. Just last week one of the GSD in my Utility class was moping around and very slow while working. He is not the fastest dog in the world but even for him, it was painfully slow. Suggested he get check out for tick diseases,turned out he had Lyme and this week he bounded into class. A truely different dog after one week of treatment.
 
Well, Randy walked good tonight. Took one of his longer night walks. He played better too. We will see what tomorrow morning's walk brings. He had a full blood panel last September 21 when he had two lipoma's removed. I don't think he's ever had his hips xrayed. He had surgery when he was 1 1/2 for a elbow chip. We will go to vet no later than 4/2. MIght take him in next Monday as I'll be off.
