Since we don't know what has got Jessie feeling down, I don't know how to help her at this time. Keep a close eye on her for anything specific, such as poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, painful abdomen, increased respiratory rate, etc. If she still just isn't normal in a day or two, it may be best for the vet to check Jessie out.
