Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection and the lethargy may be related to fever. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
