My Lab is lethargic and not eating her food. Is she okay?

Question

My lab is usually very happy and loves her food but last night seemed less interested in eating. She ate when I offered food by hand and is eating treats but she also seems a bit lathargic. She’s up on vaccinations and is spayed as of last month. She’s just not her usual self. Won’t hop up on the bed but still gets up and follows me around wagging her tail. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 61 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dogs do not have to eat as often as we do, or even daily. If Lucille is still interested in food, drinking water, and not vomiting or diarrhea, I would continue to monitor her for another 24 hours. I would see a vet if the lethargy and decrease appetite continues. She could be coming down with something and may get worse, or getting over something and bounce back. Please do not give any over the counter medications unless directed by a vet because some medications are toxic to dogs. Good luck and kisses to Lucille!
