It sounds as though Roger is sick with something affecting his GI tract. Diarrhea can lead to dehydration very quickly which can result in weakness and weight loss. The third eyelids are often more exposed with GI upset, pain or dehydration. I recommend having Roger evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. He may need subcutaneous or IV fluids as well as testing to determine the cause of his symptoms.
