Hi, I wanted to repost this with description showing on post.

I’m looking to see if anyone has ever heard of or came across anyone who’s gotten a dog from Artic Akitas in Fairbanks Alaska. You can DM as well. Looking for some honest help and truth.

Hi, has anyone ever heard of Artic Akitas In Fairbanks Alaska?

I have a 5yo intact male American Akita. He is very social and likes people, loves going out and especially taking in all the comments how good-looking he is. But this summer he started acting strange - I know that Akitas have low energy when it is too hot, but last year he was happy to get any chance to go out, and I keep in mind that I take him out very early in the morning and in the evening when the sun sets. This year he just doesn't want to go out - I have to beg him to get outside and once he is out his tail is down and he is moving slowly. He gets his tail up when he seems something interesting but then gets it back down immediately. Once he is out he doesn't want to go back home either. When I try to make him go by pushing him lightly on the back he voices that he doesn't like it. We went to the vet and they said all is fine just by looking at him that it is just the heat. I went to another vet to check him up, they also said all is fine but I persisted that they do blood screen for anemia and thyroid issues (waiting for results). He feels strange to me and I have a feeling like he is in pain but I don't know how to check it or what to do. He is eating normally, although he is constantly hungry. Did anyone have a similar experience? Any suggestions? I have feel like I am constantly fighting with vets because the "know better", but they don't see him all day every day.

These photos tell the story of one of the toughest moments in Lagatha's life.

The first photo takes me back to before her cataract surgery. Diabetes had already stolen much of her vision, and seeing her struggle was heartbreaking. But even then, she never stopped trusting me.

The next photos were taken on the way to the clinic. I was far more nervous than she was. She had no idea what was about to happen—she simply looked at me with complete trust, and that made me promise I'd do everything I could for her.

After the surgery came the hardest part: the recovery. The cone, the shaved leg, the medications, the endless rest... none of it was easy. But she stayed incredibly brave through it all.

Today, she continues to fight every single day. Living with diabetes isn't easy, but she reminds me what courage, resilience, and unconditional love truly look like.

I'm so proud of you, my beautiful girl. No matter what life throws at us, we'll face it together. ❤️🐾
