My dog is suddenly lethargic, not eating or playing. What's wrong?

Question

My dog is unusually calm even when I returned home after being out for a few hours. He doesn't want to play with his toys. He also doesn't want any treats. He is currently sleeping under my bed. Why is he acting so strangely? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 7 months old

It could be that Mickey is feeling unwell, and that's leading him to be a little more lethargic than normal. I would keep an eye on him for now, and if this lethargy continues over the next 24-48 hours, I would have him seen by a vet for a health check. If he develops other signs such as anorexia, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, I would take Mickey into a vet sooner.
