My 7-week puppy is sad, sleeping a lot, and not playing. Is she sick?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 10 days old | 1lb

My puppy is 7 weeks and she usually plays for about 15 minutes every day but today all she's done is sleep and looks sad. She ate good and pooped today but has not really played. Should i be concerned and take her to the vet?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Zoey. I'd keep an eye on her tonight. If she is still acting this way in the morning, then yes I would take her into the vet. Best of luck.
