My Two Year Old Dog Sleeps All Day. There are also certain breeds which. A Chihuahua will sleep for 12 or 14 hours a day although 18 hours is also not uncommon. An old dog will sleep more and more. How much time per day exactly.
If your dog is young it could still be hypothyroidism but its less likely. On the higher end of the scale a senior dog can sleep up to 18-20 hours a day says Dr. Its also more common in larger dogs than smaller ones. They might be the best choice for a snuggle buddy as long as you dont mind the snoring. Large dog breeds Old dogs and Puppies need more sleep and puppies may sleep up to 18 hours a day and all this is completely fine. The battery levels drop when a dog grows old and they just like to sit in a cosy place and relax.
No cough or any other signs of sickness just lethargic and her eyes are kind of glazed.
Just like senior citizens need more sleep an older dog sleeps a lot when compared to their younger counterparts. If your dog is young it could still be hypothyroidism but its less likely. The cause of your Labrador sleeping a lot is likely to be because it does it naturally. Generally dogs would sleep the most when they are puppies and when they are old. You might notice that some dogs sleep all day and there is nothing wrong with it. I just got him a few weeks ago too.
