Winston went on a road trip with me on Tues rather than leave my daughter the chore of crate/rotate all three.
Of course, Winston broke out of his crate that day while I was at work. There wasn't much in the way of food garbage, but he did get a hold of a fish food jar of blood meal worms. I was welcomed by two loads of poo in my room.
I dosed him with pepto clean up the house and hit the road. He did fine in the car (often gets car sick), had a ball running around outside with Chet and Brody. Had a normal poo today and I slipped him a hot dog at lunch.
Today we stopped at Petsmart for food, treats and toys. He loved it there, he behaved so well, and was so wiggly. Then we had to drive through Lincoln to get to a friends house. Lots of stop and go, turns and bumps. We get to the house and Winston is a bit somber. He liked my friend and did the whole pit bull lean and scratch my butt routine.
He acted a bit odd so I thought maybe he needed out, but he went for the car. We went back inside, wouldn't leave my side. Then he began to tremble. Which he has never done before. I decided we better get going, and he slept in the car for 190 miles. We got out and still no business. He ate a bite of my sandwich and drank some water then slept the rest of the way home. (35 miles)
Once home he did his business, greeted Cleveland goofy and wiggly. I crated him so I could go get River and put her outside.
when she approaches the kennel he growls at her. He's curled up asleep, and doesn't want out of the kennel.
I can't figure out what might be going on.
Did the ride through the city vs highway make him sick?
The time from hot do to weird behavior was over an hour.
Too much excitement? He's acting 'off' which for Winston is major since he rarely acts out of character.. easy going and wiggly.
