Tonight I went to feed him and noticed his eyes were suddenly very crusty an his nose was dirty. His nose was dirty the day before but not bad. And today his chin is dirty. I think he might b having diareah. He is breathing odd too. Quick breaths, looks like he might be struggling. I love him to death. He is around 4 years old and I want him to live longer :)

The best way to accurately find out what is wrong would be to go to the vet, if you can't... there's always the internet to try and figure it out and how you can treat it.

I went to the vet with him. He had pnemonia (probably spelt that wrong) She said his chances were slim. But he pulled through :)
But old age caught up with him and he passed away :(
Thanks though :)

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sadly most fur babies will not outlive us. Old age happens, and he seems to have had a wonderful life with you.
