Please call your vet and give him/her an update and schedule a recheck. Your vet might need to run some blood-work and repeat x-rays to try to diagnose his problem. If it has been a week with no improvement than the medication is not working and your vet needs to determine the cause. He may need some fluids to treat dehydration since he has not been eating and is so weak. Please call your vet right away and discuss.
