Poor Clyde sounds so ill! He could have parvovirus, a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. I would consider his symptoms a medical emergency, and he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

    Hemlet is quite sick, and I would consider this a medical emergency. Given his age, I would be concerned he could have something serious like parvovirus causing his symptoms. He needs to see a vet now, this is not something that can be treated at home. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
