Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like Cookie is likely suffering from a worm infestation. He needs to be given a dewormer. I am not sure what is available and recommended in the Philipines so please consult a local veterinarian or experienced pet health worker. Common drugs used for this in the US are: fenbendazole, febantel, pyrantel, and piperazine citrate. Use as directed by a veterinarian and follow the package directions, paying close attention to Cookie's weight. He may have other underlying problems, in which case the dewormer may not be enough. In that case, consult your veterinarian as soon as possible. Best wishes to you and Cookie!
