Depression itself is a sickness, a mental sickness.
Yes, dogs can get depressed for many reasons,not just from illness.
How would you feel if you were groggy, sniffling and constantly in pain? Be with your dog while she or he is sick and nurse them back to health.

Your love is one of the best healers they can get. It has actually been observed that dogs confined to the vets get better quicker and are twice more likely to survive a life-threatening ordeal if they get regular visits from their human family. Call me a hippy all you like, but love is a powerful medicine. Give your dog as much as you can.
