My dog is warm, lethargic, and won't eat or drink. What's wrong?

Question

My Bichon Frise (almost 5 years old) is warm and subdued. Won't take a treat or drink water. It is now 1:15 p.m. and at 9:30 a.m. I took her for a walk and she did pee and have a bowel movement. No diarrhea. She just wants to lay around - even around the kids - which she usually is so excited and runs and plays - she did nothing - won't take a treat. Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Female | spayed | 4 years and 10 months old | 13 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Mags! Can you take her temperature rectally? Anything 103 F or higher is a fever. Causes of a fever are: Lyme disease, immune conditions, infection (urinary, joint, lung) or pending GI upset. If she isn't better by the morning she should be seen by your Vet. I wish you the best!
