If Bentley continues to be lethargic I recommend a trip to the vet asap to make sure is all ok. He is probably just a little sore! Offer him a small amount of food and monitor. Hope Bentley is fine, good luck. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.
