Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 7 years and 7 months old | 15 lbs
My year old dog is acting listless, and I came home and she had peed and was lying in it. As if she did it and just didn't move. At first I thought she just had a cold because she has cold in her eyes, and she is eating and drinking water. But she isn't the energetic, welcoming dog I'm used to.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While this is not a specific sign, it is indeed very concerning. Possibilities are many including pancreatitis, a toxicity, an infection, among many others. I highly recommend that you have Josephine evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid that this could be something serious. They would be able to examine her and proceed with diagnostics based on their examination. Good luck and have a good night! I hope that she gets better quickly!
