No expert here, but I doubt if the cat feces caused it. How long ago did he eat the cat feces? Is there a chance he got into something else he shouldn't have? How long has he been not eating or drinking? Any other symptoms? I sure wouldn't put off going to the vet if things aren't improving and are as bad as you make it sound. Need more info! Also giving you a link to things that are dangerous for a dog to have. Have you been feeding him human food--And don't get me wrong--I feed raw and home-cooking and no commercial dog food at all--I am totally not against human food but you have to be aware of all the things a dog should not eat---It is a long list! Please read this long thread--I'm sure you will be surprised by things that are on the list: Foods that are hazardous to a dog

I also think you should backtrack when this first happened---Be a detective and try to remember things that may of happened--changes--things he may have done in the hrs. before he started acting this way (Besides eating cat poop) What do you feed him? Sometimes dogs eat feces because they are not getting proper nutrition in their food. Does he act like he is in pain or has something obstructing in his mouth (or elsewhere)? Maybe you should examine inside his mouth/throat--maybe something is hurting him there and doesn't want to swallow anything. I hope you get enough water/liquid down him as he could become dehydrated--Being a pup--prob. wouldn't take too much for this to happen.

Please--more info!!

Its not weird at all for a dog to eat cat poo... its gross, but not weird. Hope your dogs doing better. Has he eaten anything or more importantly is he drinking water? Hope hes doing better.
