    Screams kidneys to me, Kimmy...

    I like the idea of a urine sample to the vet, hopefully it's nothing. Glad he still has an appetite, but I'm worried about the mopey part as well.

    Good vibes to my favorite boy!

    Me as well.

    I'd take a sample to the vet to start with.

    Hugs to your little boy.

    kidneys, liver, uti, whatever it is, it doesn't sound normal for him. I would take a sample to his vet, if he doesn't have an elevated temp, they may want to do blood tests too. Big hug & kiss to your sweet boy

    Andy said he was a bit lethargic last night but he ate his dinner and breakfast.

    He drank a little water today but not nearly the amount he was the past couple of days. He's been mopey and following me around. He's peed twice and I got a sample during our first trip out.

    He's crashed out and dreaming right now (his paw is twitching).

    Kia's refused all food today. So both go in at 3:15.

    Oh no Kimmy! . I am so sorry to hear Chipper and Kia don't seem to be feeling as well. You all will be in my thoughts, I hope the vet is able to find out what's going on and get them feeling better soon. Is it really hot there? Sometimes my collies used to lose interest in food more when it was really warm. Tash does too sometimes but Tommy and Raven are chowhounds

    Besides kidney or UTI infection, add in possibly the beginning of Cushings. To the Vet you go for a diagnosis.
