My puppy is lethargic after pet hotel. Is he sick or just cold?

My usually playful puppy is suddenly lethargic and sleepy. He isn’t interested in playing or going for walks. It is extremely cold in NYC. Could he be sick or just cold? Also he was 2 weeks in a pet hotel

Hey, Ziggy could just be very cold but with what you’re describing I would recommend you taking him to a vet for an exam because he could have an illness causing what you’re seeing. Better safe than sorry. I hope that helps and thanks for using Pet Coach.
