PLEASE help me? i am not very old so i am very nervous so once again please help me???!!!

Answer
Suzzy -

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what is wrong with your dog without the benefit of a physical exam.  

Have your dog examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible - the sooner you have him evaluated, the sooner you can begin treatment and your dog can begin to feel better.
