It sounds like Leo is very sick. For a young dog like him, toxin exposure, heavy parasites, or intestinal blockage are the big concerns. If he is not properly vaccinated, a sever viral infection could also cause these signs. I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian immediately. The doctor will likely recommend to check blood work and possibly radiographs to try to determine the underlying cause. Act quickly as the sooner he starts treatment, the better the prognosis. Best of luck and I hope this helpful. Please feel free to post any additional questions!
