Tommy is extremely ill and he needs to see a vet now. He could have gotten into something toxic or could have parvovirus if he isn't fully vaccinated. There is nothing you can do at home for him, this is a medical emergency and leaving him in this state could be fatal. Please take him into a vet immediately.

    It sounds as if Tommy is very ill and needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately. Poisoning, illness, severe infections, etc can all cause similar symptoms, and the severity you are describing is very concerning.

    Please seek veterinary care ASAP from your local vet or an ER clinic.
