My dog ate potato salad. Why is he so tired and not excited?

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered

My dog just at a small portion of potato salad, he's just laying down and he's not excited to get up like he usually is. Although it is night time and he might be tired, i'm still worried.

There could have been something in the potato salad that is making Duncan feel ill. I'm not sure what it was made with, so I would keep an eye on him for now. If he's still lethargic tomorrow, or develops other signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, or anorexia, then I would take him into the vet.
