I am very sorry that Felix is not feeling well. I would start by placing him on a bland diet of boiled chicken breast for a couple of days. Add in a probiotic to restore normal gut function, and consider worming him if he has not been wormed yet. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=33650 If he does not start to improve in 24 hours I would advise taking him for a check-up with the vet.
