The description that you gave of Jex sounds very concerning. I would get him into a veterinarian for a thorough exam. He most likely will need some diagnostics to find out what is going on. There is a chance that he has eaten something foreign that has caused a partial obstruction, he could have pneumonia, and there are lots of other possibilities by the description that you have given. The best thing for him is to be seen as soon as possible by a veterinarian . Thanks for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
