Hello, sorry to hear about Lucy. It sounds like he may be hungry since he is attempting to eat but has a hard time prehending and chewing his food. My concerns are that he could have something bothing his mouth which is preventing him from chewing his food. Alternatively, he could have something going on with his GI triact (inflammatory bowel disease vs parasites vs some form of obstruction from foreign material) or abnormalities assocaited with his liver, pancreas, or kidneys. Becuase he is not improing, the next step would be to check some bloowork and an abdominal ultrasound. This would hopefully rule out the pressence of the foreign material and an obtruction which would require surgery and rule out any underlying liver disease. Please have Lucy seen by his veterinarian today to further assess him. Hope this helps and best of luck.
