What Kind is she?
Was it a long trip home?
How long has she been acting this way?
and have you talked to the people you got her from?

She is a RIR and it was about 40 min ever since we got her (about 9 hours ago) and she just sleeps...no they arnt open, but when I went to get her she was running around and was livley...but now shes slow moving, quiet, sad, and separated in a corner...i feel so bad for her...im hoping shes just home sick

Well if she was fine when you picked her up..I would think it is just being in a new place....Keep and eye on her, make sure she is drinking, eating and pooping or...Check for lice or mites....Give her extra TLC (maybe some treats).



Let us know if anything changes.


Best Wishes,
