Poorly puffer

What’s up guys. I’ve had a porcupine puffer in my tank for about 4 months. He’s in there on his own. He’s always eaten and always been loving life. I came home from work today and he looks like he hasn’t eaten in weeks which is rubbish because I fed him less than 24 hours ago haha...but he’s gone really thin, is laying on the bottom of the tank and won’t eat. Won’t even acknowledge the food! Just wondering if there’s anything I can do or would you say he’s had it? What I find really strange is the rapid weight loss.
I’m looking for him now and he’s gone somewhere which it doesn’t ever do either.

It does sound like the fish is on it's way out, but you never know for sure. Sometimes a fish will make a remarkable recovery.
