My 2 little ones sometimes don't eat all day, no matter what I try.  My rule of thumb with them is 2 days, then I take them in.  That is when they don't seem sick are are drinking, etc. But neither of them has a dianosis of anything.

That's a good rule of thumb to have.  Animals are a lot like us, in that they have days where they don't want to eat.  I know I have days where I feel kind of icky and tend to drink instead of eating.  2-3 days is the limit on not eating.  If they aren't drinking give them 12-24 hours.  It doesn't take long for a dog or cat to get dehydrated.

Tazz, giving him water via a syringe is a great idea.  Getting it in him is the important thing.  Hopefully he is just having a bad day and feels better in the morning.
