Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Ricky. Oh no, poor boy. Unfortunately it's illegal from me to recommend giving him Benadryl without seeing him in person. I am quite concerned that he's breathing funny and isn't really eating. Any breathing problem should be considered an emergency, so yes I would take him into an ER vet now. I hope this helps!
