Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am so sorry to hear Kiki is sick! If you are that concerned maybe there is a local emergency hospital you can bring him too and have him seen immediately. If not, then try gently syringing water and canned food as a slurry. I would stay with him to watch him. I wish you the best!
