It sounds as Sawyer is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. if he can't get up it's an emergency, i would recommend taking him to the vet urgently, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an antibiotic course and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
