Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Shu! If Shu has a fever, won't eat and is mentally dull he needs to see a Veterinarian. It is possible he has Ehrlichia again but there are other possibilities as well: other infection (lyme, peritonitis, urinary tract infection), toxin exposure, pancreatitis, immune disease, cancer. I hope this helps and I wish Shu a speedy recovery!
