My dog is lethargic, disoriented, and acting aggressive. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 9 months old

My dog seems lethargic, maybe slightly disoriented and she flinches when hands come to her face. Headbutted daughter today and chewed a pen and got ink in her mouth. Also found someone tightened her collar to about 1 finger.

I highly recommend taking Teagan to a veterinarian. With her symptoms, there could be multiple different things that can cause the vague symptoms. Your veterinarian can perform a good physical examination to determine what, if any diagnostics are needed and what treatment is needed.
