Lots of positive thoughts and crossed paws and fingers for dear Chestnut. I hope it's not anything serious and that it can be treated. It seems he hasn't quite lost his spunk.
Purrs and kisses to Chestnut and hugs to you.

I was reading up on this and while the "c" word was mentioned, it was also said that this is often a symptom in cats who have diabetes. Chestnut is in the right age group for that and the articles all said that the symptoms lesson greatly once treatment is started. Whatever is wrong with Chestnut, I hope it can be easily treated.

Got the results of his blood work today, all is fine except slightly elevated white blood cell count, indicates infection, and we know he has the URI.
So we move forward to the xrays tomorrow. Thanks for all the prayers.
I'm leaning towards a slipped disc issue. My RB Amber had spinal issues and could not jump, but his was due to hypothyroid, calcium deposits developed in between the vertebrae.

Just got the phone call from the vet, Chestnut is groggy, I can pick him up at 2 PM.
The xrays didn't show anything re the spine; but she said again that is not conclusive. She also xrayed his hips. He DOES have changes there, and she expects he has some arthritis in them. But she isn't seeing such a big change as to explain why he can't jump. I 'could' do an MRI, that costs a LOT and still may not be conclusive.
So I will bring him home and keep him on the meds, get the URI cleared up, and the prednisone will continue to help as an anti inflammatory, and we will see if this helps him.
Wish it was more conclusive.
Many thanks for all the prayers and good wishes for my orangie.
