I've noticed a change in her over the past week. She is well-cared for, she's with me 24 hours a day. She eats well, and goes to the dog park 2-3 times a week. We have two other dogs in our household.
She is usually very energetic(about a year old) and playful. Lately she has been holding her head low, and is moping around. I am hoping someone can offer possible solutions. I have no reason to think that she is in physical pain, as I have been with her and haven't noticed any injuries.
She is still affectionate, and has started sitting in my lap. (She's a Belgian Malinios, not a lap dog, lol!)
Possible reasons for her change? Any help is appriciated.

And before someone suggests she was hit or something, she wasn't. I can assure you of that. But she WAS a rescue, so who knows what happened before I got her. I've had her since February.

Has there been a change in your household? that could affect her. I would recommend taking her to the vet, just to get a check up because it could be something you can't see. I hope she gets better soon.

It can be hard to notice an injury or pain in a dog. I discovered my 10 year old lab/golden's arthritis when I saw that he sleeps with his paw curled in, instead of straight out. Young dogs, especially big ones accidentally run into things, or swallow things so fast we never notice it. I would definitely take her to the vet to check everything out. Hope she gets better.

Aww!
Is there a chance that maybe she's sick, and it's only now showing? You did say she was a rescue dog, so she could have picked up something before you found her.
At worst, a check-up will help you eliminate possibilities.
Good luck! She sounds like a wonderful dog!

Get her to the vet for a check up - she could have picked up something at the dog park...

Just call your vet and explain her symptoms to the vet and see what he/she has to say about it.
