Unfortunately, these are very vague symptoms with multiple causes. Make sure Jack is warm, fed and clean. Rub a dab of Karo syrup or honey on his gums. If he responds, offer a meal. Given his young age, you may need to have him physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose or rule out serious viral or bacterial infections.
