Poor Oscar! How scary for you to lose him for three days, but I'm glad he came back home. He could have eaten something on his adventure that has made him ill, or he could have been injured by another animal. I would keep him quiet tonight, and offer him small amounts of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts. Have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning for a health check.
