Your dog experienced an emergency yesterday and is showing signs of lethargy today. While some tiredness might be expected, persistent lethargy should not be ignored, especially after a stressful event.
- Monitor your dog's activity and energy levels closely
- Consider any additional symptoms such as vomiting or trembling
- Contact a vet if lethargy persists or worsens
It’s common for dogs to be lethargic after an emergency as they might be recovering from stress or the effects of the event. However, lethargy can also indicate that there may be underlying issues that need to be addressed. It's important to ensure that your dog is still eating, drinking, and behaving relatively normally apart from being tired.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
