It is always best to err on the side of caution although sometimes the vets like to get in there and do too many aggressive procedures so it depends on the vet. I am always cautious with the vet too and maybe even get more than one opinion. I know it will be emergency vets now since none are open otherwise, but that is just my experience.
Could he have gotten into something bad or did someone feed him something out of the ordinary. Your description sounds like he is pretty sick.
He needs to stay hydrated and blood sugar levels kept up so I would give him honey and pedialyte. Give the pedialyte by syringe if he won't drink voluntarily.
Keep us posted on this poor little guy. I hope you recovers soon. |
