These episodes may be just dietary related or due to a gastrointestinal inflammation or infection. I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken (or white fish) 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 more diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
