I think this little one should be checked out by a vet - its possible that he
may have some underlying heart problems that can be treated through
medications...I am not a vet, just a shelter operator, so its best to have
him seen by a professional. While you are there, I would also have them run a
CBC and blood glucose test, just to get a feel for how he is doing overall.
It may be that he is just old, but those symptoms set off warning bells for
me.
