Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yellow gums are a symptom of something pretty serious going on. Jaundice can result from liver disease or toxicity, or the destruction of red blood cells releasing bilirubin into the blood stream. Only your veterinarian can diagnose what is going on, & start Shawn on the proper treatment. I hope he is well soon. Take care.
