Also check him... does he feel warm or cold to the touch? Warm is good, if he feels coldish, warm him in your lap and cover him with a blanket. Heat will help process the drugs out of the system.

I appreciate you being "overcautious!" I did wake him up and took him down to go potty. I gave him a little greek yogurt with water as a small snack. he ate, drank, that very quickly. He is still a little groggy, and walks with his tail down. His eyes look a lot brighter, though. He's back in bed, and I just covered him with a light blanket. Thank you so mich for your advice!
