Hello. Thank you for using PetCoach. So sorry that Fido is not feeling well. Dark colored urine is an indication of dehydration. Not eating can be a sign of almost anything. Not eating for that long is very worriesome. You need to get him to a vet for an exam and some treatment. I don't think worms or the heat is the issue. I found a few veterinary hospitals in your area. I suggest you get him to one of them for an exam. Remember, at 10 years of age, he is about 60 years old in "human years".
