Could he have got hold of a turkey bone/bit of foil/whatever in the Christmas chaos that's stuck somewhere in his system?

Sounds like a trip to the vet - sorry

I would take him to the vet to be checked over.

Is he wanting to eat? Losing weight?

Katy is he doing poos? If not I would have serious concerns regarding some sort of big blockage As DMum says could be a bone but bigger if nothing is getting through Or maybe he had different food to eat at Christmas and has gastritis (inflamed/irritated ) tummy) I would have been at the vets before now if it were me..christmas is a few weeks ago now
