Answer
Hello Jackie and thanks for the question,

I am sorry to hear about your pet. The symptoms that you provided indicate a serious medical problem that can only be remedied by a GP/Exotic vet.

I would suggest quarentining the sick animal from his brother and getting him to the vet asap.

Thank you and good luck. I am sorry that I could not be more help in this particular question.
