Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry to hear Champ isn't felling well. I recommend taking him to a vet right away. It is very difficult to diagnose him over the internet. If he is weak, he may need IV fluids and medications to make him feel better. Once a vet performs an exam, they will be able to guide you to the next steps in diagnosing and treating his problems. At his age, I would be worried about things like intestinal parasites or infectious diseases, like parvovirus. Good luck and kisses to Champ!
