Basically in a nut shell, we noticed a while ago that teddy had started to lose weight. No biggie there because he was "big boned" to begin with; maybe the exercise of running up and down the stairs were having a positive effect on him. It wasn't until last week that we noticed that the loss has been quite substantial and was having an effect on his personality... He doesn't seem to have been eating either, so the poor creature is probably not only dehydrated but also undernourished.
To the extent that I had to take Teddy to the vet, who carried out some lab exams to see what was ailing poor Teddy. It turns out that he has a serious case of kidney disease: his blood, urine, and other figures were way over there, and now as an immediate remedy should be on IV fluids for the next 3-5 days.
The vet (for references for what seems like otherwise a great and tactful vet contact me!) basically made no promises of permanent or even imediate recovery, so we are understandibly under a lot of emotional distress. We can only hope for the best - whatever it is...
