If you have no proof of vaccines it is best to do then to know he is protected. A rabies vaccine would be due along with a panleukopenia and respiratory virus combination (fvrcp). This one will need to be boostered 4 weeks after the first then you can go to every 3 years. You can change his diet to a sensitive stomach or even just boiled shredded chicken to help until you get him seen. You want to pick up a dewormer and probiotic at a pet store to also help
