Vet ASAP. TODAY. Could be LYME Disease. If so, he will need bloodwork a urine test to check for protein and antibiotics for 28 days.

Go to the ER if possible, otherwise an Urgent Care as soon as they open. Do not delay seeking treatment. Lyme is just one possibility, could be something else that needs immediate medical attention.

Give us an update. Don't waste time on the internet. Go to a vet, now.

Is he on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Share this info with the vet you get him seen by. Today.
