My dog is suddenly lazy, won't eat or drink. Is it an emergency?

Question

My dog started acting weird this morning, she won't eat or drink and is being lazy. She hardly gets up, is this an emergency? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed

If she isn't throwing up or having diarrhea, I wouldn't say this in an emergency at this point. I recommend monitoring her for now, and taking her to the vet first thing in the morning if she still isn't eating or drinking. You can try to tempt her to eat with boiled white meat chicken (no bone) and white rice in small amounts. If she does start vomiting and having diarrhea, I would take her into your vet right away.
