Hello. I am sorry to hear that Rilo has an upset stomach and is fidgety. Any upset stomach can cause pain, and this is likely causing Rilo to be fidgety. If he is unable to settle, is lethargic (quiet/sad), not wanting to eat, or appears to have a distended or bloated (sticking out the sides and hard) stomach or abdomen, he needs to be seen immediately. Also, if he has vomiting and diarrhea he should be seen by a veterinarian. Either way if he is fidgety I would recommend a consult with a vet to get Rilo pain management. If he is otherwise happy, eating/drinking, and urinating and defecating well, and not vomiting, you can try fasting him for 24 hours and see if that improves. Any bloating requires immediate vet care or it can be fatal however, so make sure he has a comfortable and soft stomach when you touch it. I hope he feels better soon.
