My dog threw up again after meds. Should I take him to the vet?

Question

Four days ago; my dog kept vomitting for the whole day. I took him to vet in the evening and he prescribed oral tonic. I kept him on medication for two and a half days and during this time he didn't eat anything. Night before yesterday, he ate boiled egg with cheese. Yesterday morning I gave him boiled vegetables with dog food. Because he seems to be eating normally again, I decided to stop his medication. But at noon he vomited again- two times. Should I take him to vet again? Or wait for now? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 30 lbs

I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
