Min Pin Tired

[vwheele6]

My min Pin is 2 years old and female. She just finish up being in heat. For the past 3 days she has been acting extremely tired. Her nose is cold and wet and she has been eating. She doesn't get excited for anything. Is this related to hormones...is my dog depressed?

Just make sure she is comfortable, watch her stool and urine.  Also, watch for vomiting and stomach tenderness.  Sometimes they get a uterine infection after heat if it gets serious enough she will have to be spayed. A call to the vet is free, ask questions.

It could be related to hormonal changes. But I would say that if a dog shows signs of lethargy or unusual tiredness at any time, then it might be wise to get her checked with the vet. It isn't necessarily the case that a female should show any symptoms after being on heat.
A cold wet nose is thought of as being a classic sign of good health, which often is true. But it is also possible for a dog who is unwell to have a cold wet nose too. So that isn't always a perfect guideline.
Eating normally is a good sign. But being tired (lethargic) is not. Best to get her checked out.

Also, the male dog she plays with is 4 years old and has been neutered.
