Sad boy

Today, I took my labrador to the vet because he seemed really sick and wasn't acting like his usual self the past few weeks. The vet said nothing was physically wrong with him and that he's most likely suffering from depression. My own depression is why I got a dog in the first place. FML

I heard from a different FML that dogs usually mimic their owner's habits

I'm sorry OP. Maybe if you take him to a dog park he'll connect with some other dogs and cheer up - who knows, you might even connect with someone else yourself!

Well time for you both to go outside and make yourselves happy again.

Just having a dog doesn't magically fix depression, you have to actually do things with your dog. Go on a 5 mile walk with your dog, I can guarantee you will both feel better after.

I'm sorry but this just reminds me of the episode of Friends where Joey "broke" the happiest dog in the world with his depression.

A client at the vet clinic I used to work at had depression and a weight problem. Whenever she would have a low point and gain weight, her two dachshunds would gain weight with her. The Vet I worked with had them on a very controlled diet and had them come in every 2 weeks for weight checks, and she'd talk to the owner and try to gently motivate her and keep her spirits up. Yet another reason that I like Vets better than human doctors. (Disclaimer: I have had the great fortune of working with 6 AMAZING Vets, and yes I am aware some Vets are terrible people/doctors. I've worked with them too!)
