Worried about my dog all the time

[Laurajane1394]

Hi, I feel so alone with this subject, my dog is 5 and I have recently got so anxious about my dog I worry about him going on walks I am worried about every little health issue. I found a lump above his eye lid and I started googling and checking the internet and it was saying cancer and all the rest and I just couldn’t cope, I worry about him so much to the point where it’s controlling my life I can’t go out because I worry about lots of different things from someone breaking in and stealing him to a fire in the house! I feel like I am starting to become quite poorly with it I am so worried about loosing him because he is my life my best friend my baby boy! I just feel I am loosing grips on reality and constantly worrying about my dog! I bought a camera so when I am in work I can watch him and if I don’t see him on the camera I worry so much it’s distracting me from work what can I do!

hi regular checks to the vets should ease your worries regarding his health.having him microchipped would help if he ever ran away or was stolen.could you afford a dog walker that would help reduce the worry of your dog being at home.
