My dog is lethargic, not eating, and throwing up. Should I worry?

Question

My dog is a year old and her name is Ginger. She's usually very happy and playful but recently she's been more mellow, sleeping a lot more, not fully eating her meals, throwing up, and just lounging around the house. Because of this change in behavior, I was wondering if I should be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 5 lbs

Hi, I would say based on your description of Ginger's recent activity, decrease in appetite, and vomiting that yes, she is certainly telling you that she does not feel well at all. There are many reasons medically for this sudden change. The best recommendation I can make for Ginger is to take her to your veterinarian so he/she can perform a good physical exam and determine the cause of these recent problems. The sooner she can be seen the better as it sounds like she is really not feeling well. Best of luck to you and Ginger. Please reach out if you have any further questions.
