Hi there! Sometimes dogs have days where they just don't feel right, just like we do. As long as he isn't vomiting, having diarrhea, or is unresponsive, it's probably safe to just watch him for a little while and see what he does. Additionally, if he doesn't appear interested in food, this may also be an indicator of something brewing. I recommend that you bring him to the vet if he hasn't perked up within 24 hours, or if any of the symptoms I mentioned above develop. Good luck and I hope that Milo feels better soon!
