Thanks for the feeding advice - if he's not holding anything down tomorrow, I'll definitely take him in. He has been sleeping all day and I'm getting pretty worried about him. Right now, #2 son is cuddling with him on the couch in the A/C (where he never is allowed  ).
Thanks again - you guys have really helped put my mind at ease a bit and also given my things to look for.
Oh, and down here, doctors and vets give out cell and home phone numbers as a matter of course - I'll call the vet if he gets worse.
The vet is normally open until 8pm (they close from 2pm to 4pm) - if he doesn't keep this water down, I'm thinking I should just take him in? |
I would. I always figure if I'm worried enough to be thinking "should I?" I probably should. Especially if you can't keep fluids in him.
