Thanks for reaching out about Salt. If lethargic, a veterinary visit is necessary, and the sooner the better. Providing heat support in the 809-85 F can help but is not a treatment. Yellow feces could be pigments from the food but also intestinal problems such as parasites, infections, increase bile (liver problem) and more. Good luck.
