Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Based on these symptoms, I would recommend having Spot examined by a veterinarian for further testing and treatment recommendations. It is possible that he is dealing with some type of systemic infection, intestinal parasite, etc. I would recommend having him examined by a vet, have his blood tested and his feces tested as an initial workup. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
