With such vague signs, there is no way for us to predict online where the source of his discomfort his. I recommend a full physical by your vet to investigate the source of his pain and discomfort and advise on the most appropriate treatment. Keep him warm and well rested and offer pedialyte, fresh water and small meals of warm, bland food until you can arrange an appointment
