The blood tests came in a couple hours ago and it's not good.

Duke's liver function is bad.
I have to take him in for IV Fluids tomorow if he hasn't started drinking. (The vet is giving us some time to maybe get him eating/drinking again) He is also going to be force fed at that time because his body is begining to break down muscle tissue. (hasn't eaten in at least 2 full days) He is so listless and barely acknowledges me when I come into the room. He has been keeping to my room away from my parents puppy. We have tried to get him to drink and even tempted him with salmon juice and some salmon, He barely sniffed it, licked it once and walked away.

I am beside myself I have no idea what to do.....

Many thoughts and prayers for Duke (and for you
). It's so hard to see them when they have no interest in food or drink. I hope you can get your guy to take an interest again, and get the turnaround you need.
