If you think that Zeus is losing weight and is lethargic / sleepy, I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would have his blood tested and consider abdominal x-rays to start. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions / concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
