Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Remy is quite thin and with his clinical symptoms I would certainly have him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would recommend that he have his blood tested along with abdominal x-rays. He may have a congenital systemic disease, an infection or may have eaten something that is causing an intestinal obstruction. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
