Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It may be due to icterus or jaundice which is more like a yellowish tinge. That can be seen in patients with advanced lymphoma in the liver. If he is rapidly declining it may be best to have him seen today by your local emergency clinic to try to prevent suffering. I am so sorry to hear the sad news. Have a good day!
