I would have him evaluated by your veterinarian tomorrow. He is old enough to be vaccinated for rabies and probably should be tomorrow. If you have a chance to find the carcass that he was eating and call your public health office for testing that would be ideal. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
