Hi there. There are a few things you need to rule out here-internal parasites, external parasites, and internal abnormalities due to other factors (diabetes, anemia, etc). To evaluate this condition further you really need to have bloodwork done on him. Especially if he is not eating or drinking and of such weakness That you take note of it-he needs to be seen by a vet. At home you can try to comfort him, give him a warm towel to lie on and keep fresh water available. I hope this helps.
