Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 10 months old
I am not sure if I should take my dog to the vet. She is 6 years old and mated with a male dog a week and a half ago. One week after she started to show weird signs. She’s tired and won’t open her eyes much. She is eating, drinking water, peeing and has had bowel movements. No fever.

Its reasonable to give er a few days and see if her behavior starts to improve, as long as her appetite is normal, she's not having any vomiting or diarrhea, her breathing is normal, and she will get up and walk to greet you when you call her. If she won't get up on her own, or is she's showing any other symptoms, you need to take her to the vet. If it's just that she's more tired, etc, give her a few days. If its not improving in the next 3 or so days, take her to your vet. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach !
