    Do not give any more medicine without dosing help. You need to know what the medicine is and the strength.
    What kind of flea medicine did you put on him and how much?
    No matter what it was, please keep hydrating him. If he has something in him that is toxic, pedialyte might help flush it out of him.

    I am so sorry your boy is in bad shape. It is possible that he has parasites in his system, and so many that they are severely affecting his health. Pneumonia is also possible, either as the osle cause of his illness or something that also happened because he was weak to begin with. See if there are any worms or pieces of worm in his poop. This is one way to detect parasites but some of them are not visible. We have members in Virginia who may be able to help -- I will reach out to them. What part of the state are you in?

    You are wise to keep him hydrated and in a warm, safe environment while we figure out what is going on. Do you have a nebulizer by any chance, to help him breathe? You can even take hi m into a steamy bathroom, with the hot shower running, to help loosen up the gunk in his nose and lungs.

    What antibiotics do you have on hand? You need the good stuff: doxycycline, Baytril, etc

    Milagros, I merged your threads together to make it easier for us to respond to you. Stick with this thread,. ok, and keep refreshing your screen to see all the responses. What FLEA MEDICINE did you put on him, and what kind of antibiotics do you have? A Sammys Mom said, please don't give him any more medicine until we figure out what is going on with him.
