What it could be
Lethargy & Low Energy can have several possible causes
This section is not a diagnosis. It gives sensible possibilities to help you decide what to monitor and when to involve your vet.
Digestive or internal illness
Vomiting, diarrhoea, appetite changes, thirst changes or weight loss alongside lethargy can suggest internal illness.
Stress, heat or recovery needs
Hot weather, disrupted sleep, travel, surgery or stressful events can reduce energy, but persistent lethargy needs checking.
When to call a vet
Contact your vet urgently if lethargy is sudden, severe, paired with collapse, pale gums, breathing difficulty, vomiting, pain or not eating.
