Poor Boboom! I would be afraid that he was injured while he was out, either by an animal or possibly a car. It's very concerning the symptoms you are describing, and I think the best thing for him is to take him into a vet immediately. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
