He is usually running around and attacking anything that moves, but this morning he is just laying in my lap. I am hoping this will wear off as the day goes on, but this is the second time he has had a day like this. Should I be concerned? |
Monthly flea treatments like comfortis will definitely make your Yorkie lethargic for a few hours to over night. It should have worn off over night, but so long as he is awake and alert and not vomiting or showing other signs of acute illness, he'll probably be okay. Just keep and eye on him, and if he doesn't perk up over the weekend, take him to the vet on Monday, unless he starts showing acute signs of illness, in which case you should take him in sooner. As far as feeding goes, Yorkies can be picky eaters. What are you feeding him?
