It is hard to state exactly what to do to make Max feel better. He really needs a veterinarian to perform a physical examination on him and some diagnostics. If there is an emergency veterinarian in your area I would recommend bringing him there. I would ask neighbors to see if there is someone open right now. I am concerned if Max does not get help he will continue to decline. I hope Max feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
