I need help ASAP. Something happened to my 4 year old male and he is in his bed crying. I didn’t see what happened. I am not a licensed rehabbed and really don’t want to have to surrender him. Please help

Could he have taken a fall? Does he have free roam or is he always caged?
What is his diet like?
Can you feel around for any "soar" spots where he may have hurt himself.
Do you have infant ibuprophen?
How far are you from New Haven?

Hi guys sorry for the late response I am finally able to breathe. I’m positive he’s fine. About 20 minutes after I posted this he settled down and was back to eating and playing. I think something just scared him really bad. I did feel around on him and he let me do so and didn’t show any signs of pain during it. Thank you 2 for you help so much. I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared of losing him

I actually wondered if this is what happened. One of their "frightened cries" is the saddest, most mournful cry in the world. I am glad he is okay - now YOU just need to recuperate from the scare!
