Whats wrong with my boy...help please!

Got up this morning and my boy was ok, maybe a bit quieter than normal but I just thought maybe because he had just woke up?
Went out for his morning walk as usual, came home and put his food down for him and he hasnt touched it, he went straight upstars to his crate he hasnt left it since?
That is not like him at all....went I call him he wont come out?????
I dont know whats the matter with him?
He hasnt eaten today?
He has had sum water.....but he is not himself and is just lying in his crate..Im worried!!!
My vets is not open till tomorow morning so I cant phone them and dont know whats wrong with him or what to do?
I have been lying with him and stroking him, but Im worried I dont know why he like this?

Have you checked his colour? If he's drinking and not vomiting he may be OK. Do you have an out of hours vet? If you feel he is getting worse it's probably worth taking him in. Good luck and hope he's feeling better soon.

what colour is his gums? If they are pink its a bit easyer.. you press your finger into the gum..you will see it go pale,... once you lift your finger off.. it should immediately go back to pink.. if it takes a few seconds... he could be a bit poorly
