It sounds to me like he is dehydrated,,,you need to push the fluids....water...pedialyte...gator ade. You just need to get the fluids in him. As long as he is doing alright..not complaining of stomach ache, isn't sweating having muscle cramps etc...you should be able to wait until tomorrow morning.
Here is a website with some of the signs of dehydration...and suggestions as to when it is necessary to seek medical help.

Your doctor's office is never closed. They are always supposed to have an answering service to take your call and relay it to the doctor. Call your son's doctor.

It sounds as though he is dehydrated and that can happen very quickly and be very serious with little ones. Is he drinking well? Has he been drinking for the last few days. Are you offering liquids often? If he hasn't been taking liquids you need to immediately offer him small amounts of something like pedialyte.

Call your doctors office and see what number they have on the answering machine for you to call in case of emergency. If you need to call the hospital and see if they can call the doc for you. If he's not on call then he has someone appointed to take his calls.

I would take the child to the ER just to get some fluids in his system. He could get in to serious health trouble due to the dehydration. It's as simple ans them putting a line in a giving him IV fluids for a little while. If he's not peeing he's dehydrated.

answers from Honolulu on

take him to an urgent care office or ER.

Dark urine, usually means, dehydration. Or other things and PLUS he has not urinated very much.

Is he drinking things?

Or call the Ped and page him/her. They are available 24 hours 7 days a week.
You just call your Ped. That is what they are there for.
Don't hold back. They are used to parents calling them, anytime.

If you can't call a nurse advice line I'd go to the ER. Dark sounds like it could be a kidney issue or dehydration.

Your doctor should have an answering service if not I'd be looking or a new doctor.

He could be dehydrated try pushing fluids kids tend to not drink much when they are sick.

He's dehydrated. I agree with the others. Have him drink lots of fluids.

Like some of the others have said. He is dehydrated. I would give him lots and lots of fluids and if you have Pedialite I would give him some of that. You don't really need to take him in to see someone but I would definitely call and see if they have someone on call at his doctor's office. If it dosen't go away it could be a urinary tract infection from not drinking enough fluids but just make him drink alot!

Sounds like he's dehydrated. Buy Pedialyte at your local grocery store and get him drinking.
good luck! I hope your little guy feels better!

answers from Cleveland on

Take him to an Ungent Care or an ER. At the very least, call the Nurse on Call.

Also, if your Doctor's office is truly closed any day of the week, I would think about finding another one. Mine is open 7 days a week; they do have limited hours on the weekend but at least they are open for half a day.
