Hi. Oliver injured his ankle 3 weeks ago. But he's fine now and getting better. He's very active. But one day, he just suddenly has no appetite, can't walk again, he don't want to come when I'm calling his name, and he don't want to play. All he wanted to do is to sleep all day. He also pee in my room again. What do you think just happened to him?

Poor Oliver! It is very possible that he reinjured himself if he is very active. Sometimes if they have an injury, they will become active again on their own and before it is completely healed. Since he isn't walking and not acting like himself, I would have a vet take another look at him. Your vet will be able to see if it is the same injury, something different or something else entirely going on. Your vet will be able to take x-rays if needed to ensure there isn't anything broken. They will also be able to get him on pain meds if needed. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better soon!
