My male cat is lethargic, not eating, and barely peeing. What's wrong?

Question

Our cat is very lethargic. He doesn't want to eat or drink. He's passing very little urine and very little stool once in 3 days. He is a two year old male. He has had X-rays at the vet the doctor said there is some crystals but not enough for there to be a blockage. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 13 lbs

I'm sorry to hear that Oswald is not feeling well. Lethargy, a loss of appetite, not drinking and difficulty urinating are quite concerning signs. Some male cats only develop partial urethral obstructions, and these can occur as a result of crystals, mucus, infection, inflammation in the absence of infection, among others. Other possible concerns include a ureteral (kidney) obstruction, pyelonephritis (kidney infection), infectious diseases (FIV, FeLV, FIP, etc.), among others. At this point, I recommend taking Oswald back to his vet for further evaluation and testing to get to the bottom of this issue because it sounds quite severe. I hope that all goes well.
