    Have you seen a vet about this?

    We really can't give you a diagnosis over the internet. There are many things that could be causing this.

    Please see your vet.

    Please keep us posted. My guess is parasites of some sort. But again, that's just a guess.

    Hope your little man feels better soon.

    I'm glad that it's not too serious. I'll cross my fingers that everything goes okay and he's back to his puppy self in no time. :)
