Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. On the CBC (on the right side), I can see that Rocky has a mild to moderate anemia and mildly elevated white blood cells. These are relatively non-specific factors that can be associated with many diseases. The data on the left side I unfortunately cannot read as I do not understand the language. I recommend that you have Rocky evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If he is not drinking water well, he should be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible to prevent dehydration. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
