Drake's symptoms are indeed quite concerning, especially with the combination of lethargy, loss of appetite, difficulty in breathing, and the presence of blood around his nose. These signs could point to a serious underlying condition, such as an infection, a respiratory issue, or even a more severe systemic problem.

Given the severity and duration of these symptoms, it's essential to seek immediate veterinary attention. The blood around his nose, in particular, could indicate a serious issue that requires professional evaluation and treatment. A veterinarian will be able to conduct necessary diagnostics, like blood tests or imaging, to determine the cause and provide the appropriate care.

In the meantime, while you're waiting for your appointment, make sure Drake is comfortable and has access to fresh water. It's important to avoid any strenuous activities and keep him in a calm environment. If his breathing becomes more labored or he shows signs of distress, please prioritize getting him to a veterinary clinic as soon as possible.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
