My dog has been lethargic, low in energy, and didn't eat her breakfast. Her gums are pale, and she was up several times last night to go outside. She may have ingested a small amount of garlic yesterday. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but she moans and lacks energy. She had her shots last week and was not feeling well for a couple of days afterward but seemed better yesterday. What should I do?

I administered hydrogen peroxide to my dog, Townes, to induce vomiting, but he hasn't vomited. He has been lethargic and had red, droopy eyes for about 3-4 hours.
