Oh no, I'm sorry Lil boy isn't doing well! Unfortunately, your post was cut off, and the last piece of information I received was ".... & morning my...." I'm not sure what you meant by that, so I will answer your question as best as I can, and if I do not answer your specific question, I apologize and ask you post again. Being uncomfortable and lethargic can be very general signs of illness, and can be caused by systemic illness, pain, injury, cardiac disease, liver disease, inflammation, cancer, or infection. Given Lil Boy's age, it's best that he's seen by a vet as soon as possible as there could be some very serious causes behind these symptoms. I recommend having a physical exam, geriatric blood panel, urinalysis, and x-rays done.
