I sure think I would wait unless he seems to be in more distress. Pills
of any kind worsen my nausea. On the other hand, throwing up can
exacerbate asthma. Since he should not be endangered by a single day
of not eating, I think I would wait unless he is wheezing, until he either
looks and seems a lot better or has been to the doctor. Another thing
to think about: you might want to go ahead and take him rather than
go through a Saturday vet visit. My vet is always swamped on Saturdays.

I'm sorry he's feeling bad, poor boy. Keep us posted.


Yeah, I am not going to give him anything without vet instruction. My
immediate reaction was like "is there ANYTHING i can do RIGHT NOW!!!?"
I realize I should not play vet!

We stood him up to see if he would drink some water and he threw up
right away. He is definitely very very nauseous. Tim is already planning
to take the day off tomrrow and get him to the vet in the morning. Our
only other choice right now would be the 911 vet and I'm not sure that
is necessary right now. That would really stress him out. I think I'd
rather let him sleep some of it off and go to his normal vet tomorrow.
After he barfed again (just clear stuff), Tim put him back on the futon
and he curled up and was okay. He is snoring right now. I know he is
sick because when I touch him he usually starts purring loud and hard
right away. No purring at all right now.

DH and I are pretty distraught already. We'll be monitoring him closely
tonight and getting him to see TED asap.

Would it be a good idea at all to try and get a little water in him,
even if by using a medicine dropper? He was licking his lips a lot and I
know he must have a dry mouth.

This sucks.
