4. Urinary blockage?

Be 100 percent sure he's peeing. It's imperative to know that he's urinating. Blockage can come up fast and is devastating ... excruciatingly painful and a slow horrible death. I saw this many times while working in vet medicine for decades. Don't assume he's peeing. Be positive he is.
