If the pet is yours you would know it's actions and usually will know something is not right. I noticed one of the cats at my job acting weird and ran him to the vet a couple hours later since I could not leave work when I 1st noticed it was not looking good. The vet said if I did not bring him in it would have died in about 8 hours. The male cat had his urinary track blocked, the vet was able to push the urine through...in which unblocked the problem. If he was unable to free the blockage it would have costed a lot of money if it needed surgery. If they can't go to the bathroom for 24hours they will burst and die. Now the cats can only eat wet food. (although I am not at work on the weekends and need to give them dry food to get them through the weekend.) It costed $200 bucks that my boss rembursed me for. Make a long story short I had big plans that were cancelled.
You did a good thing.
