Poor Booboo sounds very ill. He could be suffering from a respiratory infection, cardiac disease, or even cancer. He needs to see a vet as soon as possible for a physical exam, blood tests, urinalysis, and chest x-rays. These tests can help diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and once the cause is found, the vet can discuss potential options with you.
