Needs a reptile vet.
Put a humidifier in his cage if it is large enough. That may help with the breathing.

the bone disease is called metabolic bone disease mbd for short this can be reversed in some cases but it requires uvb lighting proper diet and enough room to excersize also the temps and humidity must be right
