If Louis has had no more diarrhea or vomiting, he is likely ok. If he continues with either, or if he stops eating or becomes very lethargic, you should schedule an examination with your vet to get him on some medications to make him feel better. Try to give only cat-specific treats and not cheetos as clearly they do not agree with Louis' tummy!
