The Problem:
Over the last week, Ferdinand has been sleeping during the day progressively more and more. He is eating fine, drinking well, poops look normal, eyes, nose, and vent all look normal. I am going to take him to the vet as soon as I can get an appointment to have a check up and a fecal check done.
Anything else that jumps out or that I should have the vet check?
