Hi. If he is acting abnormal, and its notike him, I would recommend an exam and labwork by your veterinarian. There are many things that can cause lethargy unfortunately. So without more information and testing, it is hard to say what it could be

Poor Luffy! It sounds like he is doing well overall except the lethargy. This could be from the medications but since I don't know the specifics of his meds and recent anemia, I would contact your vet and see if the meds he is own could be causing this. Also, if he has been hospitalized recently for this issue, he could just be exhausted from not being at home and not getting good rest. Also, there could be something else going on of concern. I agree that your vet needs to know if he isn't perking up very soon. I hope this helps!
