Is something wrong with my dog? [I Own a Dog]

I’ve been around dogs my whole life so I think I’m pretty good a picking up what’s wrong with dogs and their behavior.

I’ve gotten this dog a few months ago and he’s about 7 is what the vet said.

However I noticed he sleeps all day. (Unless we go to the park or outside) He growls a lot if/when you move him. Sometimes even when you just pet him.

I was thinking maybe a stomach problem, but he eats food just fine and hasn’t thrown up or anything.

Is he just not use to us by now? Or is it his age? (I doubt though cause I’ve had dogs up to 12 years old that don’t sleep around as much as he does.

It could be arthritis.

@SweetMae i remember how awful my dog suffered with arthritis in his hips. poor dog couldn't walk in the end and we had to put him down

@tenente @SweetMae maybe. But wouldn’t his joints be swollen or weird shaped? (My mom and sister both have arthritis) then again I’m not an expert either.

@londonbr1dge Not necessarily - take it out of the equation - take him to the vet.
