Thanks for reaching out about Nino. If he/she is tired and weak, it might be not getting enough food, but could also be ill. A veterinary visit is recommended. Are you providing supplemental heat, in the 80-85 F range? Do you have a feeling Nino is loosing weight? Try the above mentioned, but see your veterinarian. Good luck.
