I’m glad to hear that Scruffy is at least showing some improvement! Sometimes the lethargy may last a few days but I recommend to call his veterinarian. Let the doctor know what is going on and see if they want to get Scruffy back in just to listen to his lungs to make sure there’s no signs of pneumonia. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
