Thanks for all of your nice replies.Storm was such a good boy today. The vet techs loved him and thought he was a very handsome boy.
One vet tech held him while the other one took some blood and he was so good that they gave him some baby food. He loved it.
The vet used an ultra sound machine to help her guide a needle into Storm's bladder for a urinalysis and she was able to get plenty of urine without any problems. Storm just laid back and was such a good boy.I waited about 15-20 minutes to find out his urinalysis results and they were normal.

The vet called me this afternoon at work and said that his blood work is also normal and looks great.The last few times that he had blood work done his calcium level was above the normal range and now she said that it's still a bit high but it's the high end of the normal range so it's improved.
He does have some gingivitis but it didn't seem bad enough to stop him from eating. We both now think that it's the generic prozac that he's on that's causing him to be more lethargic and to decrease his appetite. She said that some of the side effects can be anorexia and lethargy. He's been taking 1/4 of a tablet for a little over 6 weeks now. Starr is also taking this amount but he's also on pred so his appetite is fine.
Now I'm going to try weaning Storm off of the prozac to see if this will help improve his energy level and appetite. If he still doesn't improve then it still might be his teeth and we'll try giving him some pain meds to see if this helps. He just had a dental cleaning in May so we both don't really think that this is the cause. Please send Storm some positive vibes. I sure hope that the prozac is causing this so he can be his normal self again. I guess I'll just have to live with his grumpiness from now on. Thanks again.
Tonight he was able to eat some of his canned food and then later he had a good long drink out of his water bowl. I hope this means he's on the road to recovery.![]()
