it only woke up to eat and go to the bathroom. She is also a wirehaired dachshund(miniature).

That depends....was your dog being especially active the day before? Were there things going on during the day that could have made your dog tired? Or could it be that your dog got into something? What I mean is....did your dog eat or drink something that could have made him lathargic (tired)? Is he/she still eating or drinking normal food and water? Check around your house or yard. Take notice if the trash was disturbed or if any cupboards were left open in your home. Make sure that he/she is still have bowel movements and urinating and make sure that they appear normal. Other things can play a factor as well, such as your dogs age and health. (Is he/she vaccinated and current on heartworm prevention?) If you are still concerned...I would suggest taking him/her to your local veteranarian to have a physical exam and/or bloodwork done. I wouldn't let it go much longer. If your dog is still very lathargic by day three...call the vet. They would be the ones to help you best. Good Luck!!!

She just might be bored. Try playing with her a little everyday Get one of those balls that you put dog treats in so she can get some excerise, also get her outside either in the yard or start taking her for walks. Hopefully one or all of these things will help.

not a big deal... however three days in a row would bring concern to me.
If this is a puppy, they will play and sleep off anf on all day lomg
Be Blessed!
