I'm sorry you are having this issue with Cadby. Unfortunately I cannot advise any home treatment for you to do. He seems extremely sick and needs to see a vet as soon as possible. I would consider this an emergency situation. His symptoms are very vague and non-specific for any one disease process or illness. Pretty much anything can cause those types of symptoms. Remember, not everything can be cured or treated at home. Sometimes a veterinary exam is needed in person and this is one of those times. Please get him to a vet as soon as possible.
