[Felvtalk] My Moe

[Marsha]

Hi Leslie,

Get Moe to the vet as soon as possible, unless he's feeling better 
tomorrow.  If he seems kind of iffy, get him in before the weekend.  
Nothing sucks more than waiting the whole weekend until Monday when you 
have a sick pet.  Except maybe for the bill you get ON the weekend if 
you have the option of going to a 24x7 hospital.   In the meantime, make 
sure he is eating, check to see how his stool looks, urine output, and 
check his gums to see if they are either pale or yellowish.  Pull up on 
his scruff to see if it snaps back to place right away (if not, maybe 
dehydrated). If his gums are not a normal pink, or if he seems 
dehydrated, I wouldn't wait until Friday.

Marsha
