I'm sorry to hear about Tiger. If I were you, I would have him
checked for juvenile lymphoma. It's the absolute worst thing you
could have happen to him, but it often comes on like this - very
suddenly and quickly, often leaving them unable to walk and laboring
to breathe within a few days. A lymphoma check can involve x-rays and
ultrasound, but MUST include aspirating a lymph node.

I'm not a vet, but I have been through JL with mine and that's what
Tiger's symptoms suggest to me. I'm going to hope that you find a
simpler answer though.
