I would up it's temperature to 90 degrees plus , including water. Are you able to look in the mouth for any discoloration indicating a local infection? Is it slow moving or stiff? Lots of questions I know.

there is no discoloration or infection that i can tell,
he just hasnt eaten or even defecated in about a month now..
he has acted perfectly healthy besides that this whole month until today he started to act very sluggish and wasnt his usual angry self which really worried me
