It sounds like he's very lucky to have you to look after him! Like fionasmom said, never feel bad about being squeamish and getting the vet involved. That's what vets are for! Hope everything goes well for him now that he has you!

Did you inform the vet that he became ill? As a vet, I would've wanted to reconsult with the nutritionist or refer directly. To be clear, I'm not saying don't use the naturopath, you do you. More so it's that a referral to a qualified nutritionist would be another good thing to have in your...
