Thanks Chris. Dont want to worry you but thats what Chuck was doing in the end.
(Un)fortunately, Inky has done this before. He eats random crap at some point, gets an upset stomach, and then dehydrates himself. I'm quietly confident that a night on a drip will have him up and licking everyone in sight again. At least I hope so, hes not even 3yrs old yet, so plenty of youthfulness to fight it off
Ahh he will be ok then. Chuck was an old man and in the end old age crept up on him very quickly.
