Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sage and for providing pictures, they are very helpful. He is so handsome but it looks like he feels terrible. Honestly his symptoms could be from either and I cannot make a diagnosis without seeing him in person. I would take him into the vet today or tomorrow to have his symptoms diagnosed and treat. Make sure he is eating and drinking, and stays warm. I hope this helps!
