14 Year Old Russian Blue In Pain

Hello, I own a 14 year old russian blue named Oscar and my mom and I just came back from the vet. Since he was brought in Saturday night, my mom visited him about 3 times. Each time he was visibly doing well but tonight was different. He has a kidney infection, high blood cell count and a high temperature. He was put on "strong" antibiotics earlier in the day from what we were told. Two days have passed and we've spent $1,600 on medical charges. When we arrived he was very lethargic and seemed upset as if he recently went through something bad or that his condition changed drastically. He was curled up in the corner of a cage and seemed upset if we touched him longer then 10 seconds. He got up at one point to change his position and appeared very much in pain while he was moving. I have his analysis results which the doctor gave us but they are all medical terms which we don't understand. The doctor gave us a report along with the results but we are interested in a second opinion from someone knowledgable. Based on the results below, we want to know if his condition is extremely serious or if it's not as bad as we think. Thank You.

There are many terms and numbers on the sheet, Im only going to list the ones that show (High) or (Low) next to the results.

Did they give him fluids? Is he eating? Is he on pain medication? If he is in pain, demand pain medication.
It would be helpful to know the normal range on the lab results..... Did you ask if your kitty doesn't have CRF?
Although the fever does indicate an infection..... I am not sure if CRF comes with elevated WBC -infection does - so that might be an infection.... If it not for that.... The high Creatinine, combined with the High BUN, combined with the Low Gravity (Urinalysis) are kind of a bad sign for CRF.... I would ask about it. But then.... With the possibility of an infection, I don't know :dk:

Creatinine and BUN are the two most important elements of the blood test for cats with CRF. When these are elevated and the urine is dilute, there is a very real possibility that the cat is in CRF. When the creatinine and BUN are elevated, it is likely that approximately 70% of kidney function is already gone. Since low normal potassium levels, dental disease and high blood pressure are now suspected to be linked to the development of CRF, it is advisable to have these conditions checked, too.http://www.felinecrf.com/tests0.htm

Are you sure his temperature is 96 degrees? If so that is not a high temp. It's a very, very low temp. A cat's normal body temperature should be 101 but can fluctuate a bit upwards in times of stress. It should never be 96 though. A temp that low is not a good sign.
