Question
My dog is usually running around the house all day long. Today, I noticed he is not eating, his nose is dry and he is just laying in his bed, also his tail which is normally curly and wagging is down. Please help me!!  

Answer
You don't state the age of your dog, but my general opinion is that if the dog is very young or very old, it should be seen by the vet as soon as possible.  Many dogs can get a "bug" the same way people do, and if the dog is normally in good health, there usually isn't anything to worry about.  But just with people, the young and old are always at higher risk.

I would suggest contacting your vet just to be on the safe side.
