My dog is sleepy, eyes closed, whimpering, and has a runny nose. Vet?

Question

My question is .... my dogs behavior has been weird for about 24 hrs. We were out side about a day and half ago and it was very warm about 89 degrees. When we came back in the house that even she was fine but the next day she could not keep her eyes open. And she is having moments where she is turning her head back towards her but and she will start whimpering. She also has a really runny nose. But she is eating a drinking water. But alms she wants to do is sleep. should I take her to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 12 days old | 30 lbs

It does sound like Harley is feeling sick, and this lethargy could be caused by a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. The runny nose could be due to a respiratory infection or allergies, while her looking at her behind could be due to impacted anal sacs, pain, or intestinal worms. I do think it would be a good idea to have her seen by a vet tomorrow, and I don't feel you need to rush to the the vet tonight if she is eating and drinking. But definitely have her seen by a vet in the morning for a health check if she is still acting this way tomorrow.
