There is no home remedy for garlic toxicity (if that is what he has). Garlic toxicity results in oxidative damage to the red blood cells (making the red blood cells more likely to rupture) - you cannot fix this at home. He needs to see a vet for this issue. This can be very serious. https://phz8.petinsurance.com/pet-health/pet-toxins/garlic-toxicity-and-pets I don't recommend you wait to seek treatment. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
