Why is my corgi lethargic and drooling excessively? What should I do?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 18 lbs

It has been about 3 days and my corgi is still very lethargic and drooling excessively, everywhere she lays down ends up making a puddle. She doesn't have a lot of energy but I have been able to get her to eat some and she is drinking a lot of water. No vomiting or diarrhea. Seems like she just wants to lay around and not play like normal and I can tell she isn't herself. My question is what's wrong with her and what should be my course of action?

Hello. Lethargy & drooling may be signs of a very sick & nauseous dog. You really need to have her evaluated to rule out any serious conditions like gastritis, pancreatitis, even a possible gastric foreign body. I hope you can have Trixie seen soon.
