I took her to the vet just to be safe. She ate her food but took her most of the morning.

Nena and I went out this morning. She was kind of lazy which isn’t her normal. But I thought it was just early. Got home around 1030am and she went to her crate, which isn’t out of the ordinary. Then my wife and I had to run to various doctors and hospitals all mid morning into late afternoon

Got home at 530p and she usually runs to me; this time she just sauntered over. I ended up making her plain eggs + rice, sat next to her, gave her fresh water and cleaned up her water bowl (I usually do this every Sunday but I was trying whatever I could). She was alert the whole time, kept looking over at what I was doing but she wasn’t aggressively pushing off everyone to get to me (she’s my Velcro dog 😊)

Wife and I decided that if she isn’t ok by 8pm, we’d take her to the emergency vet. “She’s small so she has zero room for error” is our mindset. Well, around 730pm Pacific she began to perk up and started following me around again.

I have no idea what happened, but thankfully she’s back to normal. I work tomorrow night, meaning I’ll be up all night so I can watch her throughout the night.

If there’s anything to look for, please drop some knowledge. She does have a scheduled vet appointment Thursday anyway, for unrelated reasons.

Hopefully I can enjoy the same success my last tank had.

Realized why I was having a nuclear meltdown: my last fuge light was rusting over the sump AND I found a screw in the sandbed; I didn’t find it until I was cleaning out equipment and overlooked the light itself. Lesson learned.
