He can't move at all. He is lying completely flat on the ground on his front leg. He is feeling pain. Not too long ago he had trouble eating. We took him to the vet. And we got some meds and critical care. We were able to feed him the meds and critical care. He was slowly able to eat. I hope he doesn't pass away. I don't know what to do.
 
Now he can't move at. I don't see any sign of breathing. He probably passed away.
 
He probably passed away. It looks like it. Should I still contact a vet? I'm so sad.
 
I'm so sorry. :(

If he has passed, it should become apparent quickly, as his body will cool down to room temperature. You can also feel for a heartbeat, which normally you would be able to feel with a hand on his side.
 
I’m so sorry. It does sound like he has passed away. 🙁.
 
Is it possible to get taxidermy?

I'm not sure if you mean autopsy to see how he died? You would need to ask your vet. If you do mean taxidermy, then I don't think anyone on the forum could advise.
