Hello, thank you for your question about Leo. It sounds like Leo is definitely feeling quite ill. Lack of appetite can be caused by many underlying causes such as problems in the GI tract or things such as liver and kidney disease. If you are unable to get Leo seen by a veterinarian for bloodwork and further diagnostics I would give recommend administering saline, normal or half strength. One additional recommendation would be to offer him a bland easily digestible diet such as boiled chicken and white rice. Hope this helps, good luck!
