When do I need to really start to worry?

Nick has had the big D for 3 days now.......last night and today being the worst.....he is not eating.....has not had a real meal at all in 4 days. He will have a nibble here or there and that is it.....he is drinking but not as much as I think he should be since he wont' eat.

When do I need to worry and take him in to the DR? He is not showing any signs of dehydration....other than the fact htat he is only peeing maybe 4 times a day (which makes for a bit easier time potty training, but i know that he is peeing way less than he usually does)....but i know that is partially becuase he is losing more of his fluids to diarrhea rather than peeing.

Is his urine really dark in color? I think that would worry me a bit, since the darker the urine is the more dehydrated he is.

If he's not feeling significantly better, I would call or take him in today. Three days is a long time to have the big D when you are so small. Poor little guy.
