Difficulty breathing: This may appear as shortness of breath or labored breathing.

Mobility problems: Walking becomes slow, unsteady, or difficult.

Take frequent breaks: you will get tired easily after activities.

Increased sleep: sleeping most of the day.

Dull hair: The hair may become dull and dull.

Apathetic: Showing depression or apathy.

Increased dependence on the owner: more need for the owner’s companionship and comfort.
