It sounds and looks like Lucy could have an abscess. When cats play too rough or get bitten by other cats they can develop an abscess. With an abscess comes fever and lethargy. I suggest you take Lucy to your veterinarian for exam. If an abscess is confined, you vet may need to drain the abscess and give Lucy antibiotics and pain mets. Good luck with Lucy.
