He may have a severe infection (bacterial, parasites, etc.), malabsorption/maldigestion issues, kidney disease or "simple" malnutrition. There may be multiple reasons for his poor condition. He really needs to be seen by a veterinarian for a physical exam and diagnostics. Hospitalization may be necessary to provide supportive care. Please do not delay and have Jonny seen today.
