No I did not get some of his old food. Last night I did get him to eat food, and this morning he did eat, I have him closed in the cat room right now, tiring to help him get some peace and quiet. I hope he will be ok also.   Cherie Gabbert[EMAIL PROTECTED]

well, then it's just keeping him well supplied w/fresh water and food and a nice quiet (small, just the one room) environment and keeping a weather eye on him.  If you and your son can take turns having quiet time in there with him - a nap or a session with a good book - over the weekend, that will

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

The muck in his ears could easily be ear mites - I would get him to the vet next week for a check up if he is OK through the weekend, with the quiet to settle in.  What is in the vomit?  If it looks like it could be a hairball trying to get out - try some of the hairball goop.  The heating pad is a

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
