Your puppy may be sick. It is always a safe bet to bring your pug into the vet to see if there is anyting that is causing the lethargy. It is also improtant to remember a healthy puppy sleeps 20 hours a day, so the lethargy may just be your puppy getting his daily dose of sleep.

Like human babies, young puppies sleep a lot, so if your puppy is 8 weeks or under and is otherwise healthy, you may just have a sleepy baby. The other causes for lethargy in puppies are much more serious and require immediate medical attention, so have the vet check your puppy out for his health and your peace of mind.
