Hey guys, I'm a new pet parent and am worried for my little guy, so please hear me out.
My boy, Rayleigh has been with me for two weeks now and is an 8-10-year-old dsh.
This morning I was woken to him retching for a good few minutes, followed by the sound of him pawing at the ground as if to bury something.
I got up to see if he was okay, and noticed that he had had an accident, presumably due to how hard he was hacking. This is the first time he's gone outside his litterbox since I got him so naturally I'm pretty worried about the little guy. He didn't vomit anything up, but there was quite a bit of saliva at the spot where he had been retching.
So I guess my question is, is this a wait and see situation, or should I take him to the vet today?
