Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

    The treatment would depend on that may have poisoned Sky, but poisoning is not that common. It's more likely he has a GI illness. It's good that he's eaten a bit and isn't vomiting. I think it's a good plan to have him seen by the vet again tomorrow if he still isn't 100%. I hope he feels better soon.

    Any animal that is vomiting with a sore stomach could be a life-threatening emergency. Concern about obstruction or a possible bloated or twisted stomach, especially if he is restless is possible. I recommend having your animal seen by a vet immediately. If your regular veterinarian is not available I would recommend going to an emergency clinic.
