Hello. I am sorry that Jagu isn't feeling well. If Jagu isn't growing well it could be that he has a condition in his gut or with his metabolic system. I would suggest you bring him to a vet and have bloodwork done to make sure Jagu doesn't have an underlying disease condition. Also deworming Jagu is a good idea as he could have worms making him not grow well. Flea products might be a good idea as well in case that is the cause of the poor hair coat. Good luck with Jagu.
