Somewhat nonspecific, gastrointestinal symptoms, such as occasional vomiting or some soft stools.

Go to E-Room if:
- ⭐️Depression
- Blood from either end
- High frequency
- Instinctive concern on your part
- Skin losing elasticity (Dehydration)
Probably Okay (For Now) If:
- Bouncy
- Interested
- ⭐️“Nothing’s Wrong”

Make sure the pet has water.
Stop feeding. And if you feed anything, it should be broth and white bread in small quantities.
If the diarrhea is profuse, you can give loperamide. For dosing by weight you can look at https://formulary.drjohnson.com

There isn’t much you can give a dog or cat at home for vomiting, but the two problems there are, with vomiting is a loss of electrolytes, which would make them depressed, and dehydration, which would make them depressed and caused them to lose skin elasticity. See notes above.
If everything is stable, as it reads above, you probably can wait until we open tomorrow.
If there are any signs of isolation or depression, it’s probably good to have a critter checked out. VEG is the Emergency Clinic that we recommend, not by a little, but by a lot. They are far superior.
