Hello, sorry to hear about Bob. There are many reasons why he may not be eating and acting lethargic. A temperature of 102 is normal for a dog. Potential causes include a dietary indiscretion (getting into something that did not sit well with him), ingesting foreign material, having a viral infection or parasites, having pancreatitis, liver or kidney disease. If his signs persists longer than 3 days, or if he gets worse, then he should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.
