I have seen this half a dozen times or so, Mostly in imported animals. Same type of symptoms but different causes, First is parasites- They can lead to infestation resulting in organ failure as well as nerve and or brain damage. Next is viruses- I've seen a virus wipe out a whole rack of animals, As it spread and progressed all of the animals affected displayed the same symptoms as yours. I have also seen internal birth defects cause the same out come, They would be fine for a period of time { up to two years or so } Then as the defects grew internaly they weren't able to funtion properly. I agree with the other person who posted that it would not be responceable to guess, being that there are so many causes. I am lucky enough to have friends that are experienced vets that help me out when I need it. Have your vet do a fecal, blood work and a X-ray on any suspected animals. Good luck.
