Could be a lot of things. If his gums are pale, he may be anemic. Have him
checked soon since it could be a bleeding ulcer which could get bad fast.
As I have said in others, furballs, ulcers (stress induced, furball induced,
or heliobactor induced). Worst case scenario it could be cancer or a ton of
things in between. If you changed the food they were getting it could be
rebellion and this could still be a problem. Also at his age insulinoma,
lymphoma, etc. You should get him checked.
