If his ears feel hot, he could have a temperature. The house-call vet
is a good idea, at least call a vet to get some professional
suggestions. The type of vomit could tell us something. Is it mostly
yellowish liquid, or does it have undigested food in it. Did you get
some of the food he's been eating when they sent him? So many changes,
including food, could have his little system in chaos. I hope he's
okay.

Nina,
Yes his ears are hot, they have been hot since I picked him up
yesterday.
Cherie,
It could certainly be stress from the trip and relocation. If he came
to you in that condition, who knows what his care has been like. I'm
praying it isn't IBD, but it's way to soon to know that. I would keep
him isolated, warm and comfortable. You might want to think about
making a heating pad set on low available to him, (wrap it in bedding
and allow enough room for him to escape it, if it gets too warm). Do
his ears feel hot? How old is he? Give him time to calm down and
adjust and keep a close eye on him. Poor little angel. Thor's very
lucky to have found his way to you.
