Hi Scott,

It sounds as if Idgie has something serious going on. By now he must be seriously dehydrated, and the fact that he hasn't eaten for days puts him at high risk for hepatic lipidosis, otherwise known as fatty liver disease. Once this disease develops, it can be fatal without treatment. All this on top of whatever caused Idgie to become ill in the first place.

It's impossible even for a vet to come to a conclusion without further diagnostics, but please get Idgie back to the vet immediately. What appears to be a slight elevation in kidney values may still indicate serious kidney disease if the urine is dilute. I personally would have the blood panel repeated, a CBC (complete blood count) done, a urinalysis done, and full body x-rays taken. If Idgie is seriously dehydrated he will probably need to be hospitalized on IV fluids. While hospitalized he would most likely need to be force-fed.

Take care, and please keep us updated on how Idgie is doing.
I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
