If Kevin seems to be feeling a little better today, it might be okay to wait another day, but if he seems to be getting worse or is feeling miserable, it is probably best to see the veterinarian today. Because you are with Kevin, you are the best judge of how he is doing. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
