Thanks for reaching out about Muthu. Stress and change in routine can be the cause, but so could infection of the syringe or systemic illnesses. If acting off in any other manner, a veterinary visit is recommended sooner than later. If only stress, winning his trust again and calming down the routine could be curative. Good luck.
