One of my two-year-old males (Loki) hasn't been his usual playful self. He usually eats with Nova, but I noticed last night that he wasn't accompanying her to the bowl.
This morning, he had about two dry kibbles and walked away. I bought him some (Stage 1) chicken baby food, and he gave it a few laps. It looked as though he wanted to eat, but felt uncomfortable so he didn't eat that either. He has been drinking water, and using the box.
I don't notice any discharge coming from his eyes or nose, and he doesn't feel abnormally hot. However, his nose is very dry and the lymph nodes in his throat seem like they might be swollen?
We have a vet appointment for tomorrow afternoon. Does anyone know the sorts of things a vet might look for? Am I wrong to wait until the vet can see us, or should I take him to an emergency vet?
I'm very worried and not thinking clearly.
