These are general signs of disease, unfortunately almost any disease can manifest itself with those symptoms and for this reason I won't be able to give you an idea of what could be causing this. I would recommend taking Princess to the vet ASAP for a physical examination, if nothing obvious will be found he will probably need a blood test or an ultrasound and the vet will then treat him according to the results.
