If you are worried I would take him back to your vets in the morning, unless you think it can't wait, then yes take him to the emergency one.
Hi the vet said he had a slight temp it was 39.2 and normal apparently is 38.5/6 so he had an antibiotic injection, an antiinflam injection to lower his temp, something called zantec to coat his tum, he had that twice, once at the emergency vet and once at my regular vet. He starts a course of antibiotics tomorrow.

The vet suspects he may have picked up a slight tummy bug, but he's not got any problems with loose stools, in fact he was slightly constipated and had to have katalax on Sunday.

I'm just worried I'm panicing and not letting him settle in properly as in thr 5 days I've had him he's been to the vet 3 times, its costing me a small fortune, thank heavens he's insured.
