Your dog doesn't show any symptoms of sodium deficiency. Hyponatremia is the clinical term given to a condition in which a dog is suffering from low concentrations of serum sodium in the blood. This condition can be caused by many underlying health issues. If you suspect that your dog is unwell, you should consult with your veterinarian.
Your dog shows few common symptoms of sodium deficiency. Some disorders like hyperglycemia, hyperproteinemia, and hyperlipidemia have similar symptoms to hyponatremia (sodium deficiency). Your veterinarian should conduct a complete blood profile, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, a urinalysis, and an electrolyte panel to exclude those conditions. He may also recommend testing the serum osmolality which may indicate a low volume of circulating sodium.

Primary treatment will depend on the severity of the hyponatremia and the associated neurological symptoms. The severity of any underlying disorders will guide treatment priorities as well.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
