I highly recommend taking Whitey to a veterinarian to have him evaluated. With the description of his symptoms it could indicate multiple diseases and it is best to have him fully evaluated by a veterinarian with a complete physical examination. I hope Whitey feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
