Hello! I'm doing well today, and I'm sorry that you are so worried about Kamilo. Lethargy is a very common symptoms of many illnesses such as a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, kidney disease, liver disease, injury, or cancer. I'm not sure if he's eating or drinking, but if he is, I would keep an eye on him for now. Should he still be lethargic in another 24-48 hours, take him into the vet for a check up. If he develops other signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stops eating or drinking, take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
