Poor Buddy! It definitely sounds like he isn't feeling well. Lethargy and not eating are very vague symptoms that could be caused by almost any type of illness, so it's hard to say what might be wrong without being able to examine him and run some tests. Because of this, I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam. He/she can do blood work, x-rays, or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.
