My dog has been nervous, agitated and barks for everything but he’s not like that, he’s losing weight and hadn’t sleep as usual, what could be happening to him?

Sudden weight loss is always a very big warning light that should not be taken lightly, it's usually a sign of an internal disease that needs to be investigated, i strongly recommend taking Juanito to the vet in order to get it checked, he will need to have a blood test done and possibly an xray as well in order to attempt to diagnose the reason for these symptoms.
