    Yellow mucus membranes (eyes, gums, tongue, skin of the genital area) can be a sure sign of liver/kidney insufficiency- those organs aren't working as they should and toxins that are excreted by them are not being filtered out normally. I would HIGHLY recommend you have him examined by your vet as soon as possible. Bloodwork will help in establishing a diagnosis of liver/kidney problems if there are any. I hope for the best and wish you well. I hope I helped and thank you for your question.
