Considering his age, these signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. I would recommend to take him immediately for a check up as clinical condition can deteriorate quite quickly. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
