Should I take him in? I don't want to take him in if there isn't anything wrong?

Not to sound rude, but obviously there is something wrong, or you wouldn't be here asking. Lethargy in dogs is never a good sign. How old is your pup?

Age can be a factor, but if this lethargy and licking is sudden, you should definitely get him to his vet. Sudden onset lethargy has a number of causes, too many to list here, and most of them bad. The causes include (but aren't limited to): canine distemper, parvovirus infection, gastrointestinal parasites (can lead to blood loss or inadequate nutrient absorption), bacterial infections or malnutrition (can cause low blood sugar), and gastrointestinal disease.

Also, lack of fluid intake can result in dehydration. Which can happen from poor absorption, not just forgetting to fill the bowl...About the only good cause is pregnancy...not the case with your little guy. But yes, I would say going to the vet is your best bet here, and soon.

Hope this helped! Good Luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
