CA$42 : My dog just vomit his supper and then later on 2 more times

Thank you for your reply!

Right now I would remove all food and water.

If she continues to vomit despite removing all food and water - i would see a veterinarian tonight.

If he does not vomit tonight - tomorrow I would start a slow, gradual introduction of food and water. If you would like to try conservative management at home, you can try to offer a bland diet. A common bland diet is boiled chicken and rice (2/3 rice and 1/3 chicken). I would try this for about 1 week, hoping that he improves over this time.

Signs that would make me more likely to recommend a veterinary visit and are of concern include:
- Continued vomiting
- Lethargy
- Blood in the stool or more blood in the vomitus.

Regarding a veterinary visit, tests they may consider performing include:
- Evaluation of the feces for abnormal bacteria or parasites
- Bloodwork to check electrolytes and organ values
- Potentially even x-rays.

Hopefully with a little food change / bland diet, everything will be better in a few days.

I hope this information helps - please let me know if you have other questions!
