Answer
Hi Jim!  It definitely sounds as though your dog is in need of veterinary care.  Abdmoninal x-rays and blood work would be a must in decifering what is causing these symptoms in your dog.  A low temperature can be caused by many things.  A dog's normal temperature (taken rectally) is 101.5 to 102.5.  If your dog's temperature is below 99, he may be suffering from a serious ailment.  Getting your dog to your veterinarian as soon as possible would be the very best thing for him.
Please let me know how he does,
Hilary
