Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on your description and the photos, I would recommend having Garfield examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. His eyes look droopy and sunken in the photo which could indicate that he is dehydrated. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
