It is hard to say with these symptoms what the actual problem is because so many things can cause this. However it sounds like your pet has a possible systemic illness (affecting his entire body) and this warrants a vet visit for sure. The eye may or may not be related but if there is discharge from the eye and also redness of the white part of the eye, then this means he likely has a corneal scratch or ulcer and in need of prescription eye antibiotic ointment to treat this. I hope that Rookie is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes at the vet.
