    Have you tried calling any other vets?

    Not drinking anything is very serious.

    Keep trying your vet as you need to get in today.

    In the mean time get some pedialyte from your chemist (pharmacy) and a large syringe without the needle...

    Give him a syringe full every hour to keep him hydrated until the vet can asses him.

    If you can't get a hold of a syringe or a baby bottle, do what ever you can to keep him/her hydrated, even if you have to soak a rag and drip it slowly down their throat.
    They won't like you, but it will be better off in the long run.:)
