What to do next

Monitor your dog closely for other symptoms

  • Monitor your dog closely for any new symptoms or changes in behavior. Contact your family veterinary practice right away if your dog develops any of the following:
    • Vomiting
    • Difficulty breathing
    • Collapse or fainting
    • Increased thirst
    • Distended (swollen) abdomen
    • If your dog remains lethargic for a second day

 

Why it’s medium priority

Lethargy with no other symptoms may resolve on its own

  • Just like in humans, lethargy is a fairly non-specific symptom of sickness and has a variety of causes that varies in severity.
  • Based on the fact that your dog is not exhibiting other signs in addition to the lethargy, it does not appear your dog requires immediate veterinary attention. It may resolve on its own with some rest.

 

Home care tips

Be extra attentive to your dog’s needs and give them a hug
