Quick Question since I am awaiting a call from the Vet/Vet Tech handling Haggis' case...

On an Xray, it was noticed that his left kidney was small.
What would cause this it to shrink?

HIstory is that he stopped eating as much a few weeks ago--but will eat chicken gravy with no problem. Just anti-kibble for the moment. Lost weight and winter coat at the same time.
Has what I believe to be shallow more rapid breathing but I can't tell. He is always too excited at the vets for them to tell either. When he sleeps he seems to take one deep breath and then a few shallow ones.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
