Why is my dog weak, losing weight, not eating, and peeing more?

Question

Hi I want to know what's going on with my sister's dog. He has not been able to stand for a long time and can't walk for longer distances. He also won't eat his food and treats as much as before and sometimes won't totally eat. The amount of his urine is way more than before and takes more time than before and is having difficulty in passing his poop. He also has eye discharges in his left eye from time to time. And his weight has gone down to 22lb from 33lb. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 22 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Chopper looks very sick. I would worry about kidney or liver failure or even cancer. Sadly cancer, specifically lymphoma, is non-discriminatory regarding age. Lymphoma, liver and kidney disease all cause weight loss, increased thirst and urination, weakness and a poor appetite. Chopper needs to see a Veterinarian. I wish you all the best!
