My 5-month-old kitten is lethargic and peeing a lot. Is he sick?

Question

My kitty is 5 months old, and he's been lathergic since yesterday afternoon,. He's usually very playful but now no interest, and I didn't know then that soaking the litter box was a sign of sickness. His ears are a little warm. How long does it take for the kidneys to be to damaged to treat? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4.3 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. With the symptoms you are describing I would recommend having Oscar examined by your veterinarian and have further testing done to help determine what the problem could be. The kidneys may not be the problem. This could be infectious or if he ate something and it is now stuck in his GI tract could be the problem. Further testing such as abdominal x-rays and blood work should be performed. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
