I'm sorry Lucek isn't feeling well! It's good that his diarrhea is better, but he sounds like he is still feeling unwell at the moment. If he had a serious case of diarrhea, it could take him a couple of days before he feels better and is back to his normal self. I would monitor him for now, and if he's still acting lethargic in another 24-48 hours, I would bring him back into the vet for a health check.
