My dog is sick, won't eat, and is very sleepy. What should I do?

Question

My dachshund was sick twice this morning but nothing since. He hasn’t eaten but we’ve been giving him water but now he’s just very sleepy.

Poor boy! Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
