I am so sorry that your pet is so ill. It is impossible to know if the state of your pets condition without a physical examination here so please get Davy to your vet right away. Your pet has to breathe and have a heartbeat in order to be considered to be alive. I do hope that Davy is going to be ok moving forward. Best of luck and take care.
