Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 60 lbs

After going for a jog yesterday evening my dog has been very lethargic. She did eat grass and throw it up once afterwards, but has been very slow moving and not wanting to move from one spot. She doesn't typically sleep all day but today she did. Her behavior is not normal, what is the best course of action?

Lethargy is a pretty general sign of illness, and it could be that Gemma may have hurt herself going for the job. She could have overdone it, and now she's painful. Keep an eye on her, and if she is still acting this way in the morning, I'd take her into the vet for a health check. I hope this helps!
