He's feeling much much better. I did read up on the link above for pepto...it said its not recommended in cats and is given to dogs and the recommended dosages; although it hasnt been proven to be effective. I gave a little less than 0.4 ml and within half an hour he was up bouncing around. I waited a little bit longer and he did well so i offered & he ate some rice and chicken (only gave him a few bites just to be safe).
He's completely back to his old self again and playing with his toys and even begging for treats. All I can say is WOW-100% turnaround. Such a relief
