Poor Duke! If he's been dry heaving for five hours and seems very lethargic, it would be best to have him seen by a vet now to diagnose the cause of the dry heaving. You can also try a home remedy to see if that works. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the dry heaving continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
