My dog is lethargic, won't eat, and won't move. Is it an emergency?

Question

My dog is lethargic, won't eat, does not respond to simple commands, and will not move without being carried... what should I do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shorthaired Pointer (duplicate) | Male | 13 years and 1 month old | 50 lbs

It's hard to advise you with this small amount of information, but if Bob is not moving or responding to commands or treats, I would take him in to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic for evaluation. They will check him out, and likely run blood work as a starting point.
