Why is my dog acting sad, not playing, needy, yelping, and lethargic?

Question

Dog has been acting not herself. She yelps occasionally but not screaming or in pain yelp. She does not have any injuries from what j know and I don't think she's in pain but seems not herself and sad. She didn't want to play fetch or with her toys and is acting quite needy. She did a normal poo.

I'm sorry your dog is not acting herself! She may not be feeling well, and that is causing her to be more lethargic than usual. Lethargy is a very general sign of illness, which can include systemic disease, infection, inflammation, an injury. I would monitor her for now, and if she is still acting this way in another 48 hours, I would take her into the vet for an exam.
