Twitching, stumbling, and lethargy in your dog can indeed be quite concerning, especially if these symptoms have appeared suddenly. There are several potential causes for these symptoms, including neurological issues, toxin ingestion, metabolic disorders, or even infections.

Since these symptoms have been ongoing for a day and are episodic, here are a few steps you can take at home:

Firstly, it’s important to closely monitor her condition. Keep an eye on her behavior and note any changes or additional symptoms. This information can be very helpful if you need to consult a veterinarian.

Next, check her environment to ensure there are no potential toxins she could have ingested, such as household cleaners, plants, or human medications.

Additionally, make sure she has access to fresh water and a comfortable place to rest. Sometimes, lethargy can be alleviated with proper hydration and rest.

Lastly, avoid overexerting her. Limit her physical activity to prevent further stumbling or twitching episodes.

However, given the combination of symptoms and the presence of lethargy, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. These symptoms could indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires professional evaluation and treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
