I have a 10yr old male DHC named Idgie. He has always been an indoors cat and has always been full of energy and talkative. On the morning of the 11th of May he made his way into the kitchen but was walking with his head down and moving slowly. He didn't want anything to do with his treats that he usually got every morning. He has been VERY inactive since. I did take him to the vet on the same afternoon, blood tests showed minor elevations in kidney tests. He was given subcutanious fluids, which were slow to be taken in. He was also given a shot of cortizone. He showed no signs of cervical or muscular problems. He really hasn't eaten for the past couple of days.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be, and what action I should take? It's killing me to see him just lie around.

Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.

Scott
