This sounds like a serious internal illness. You should take Growler in to your local ER vet right away for testing and medical care depending on what his condition is. Just about every disease process can cause these symptoms, including kidney disease, liver disease, an infection, and a bladder obstruction. It’s best to get him seen right away to hopefully help stabilize his condition. I hope Growler is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.
