Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

It sounds like Freddie may need to have some deworming done. Great timing, as you have an appointment already booked for tomorrow! Bring with you a stool sample. If there are no parasites in the sample, your vet can help you look into other causes of diarrhea. You can also discuss the coughing and sneezing at your appointment tomorrow. He may have a virus. Your vet might end up putting off the vaccines, if he is unwell, or has a fever. They will check him for fleas as well (due to the scratching). Best of luck at your visit tomorrow!
