Hi, it sounds like Cricket has either suffered a severe injury or been in contact with a toxic substance. I would recommend to have him seen by the closest vet to you to evaluate if there is something that can be done to help him or if it is kinder to prevent him from suffering any longer. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
