Hello The vomiting may have stopped due to Cooper having an empty stomach now and once he does eat/drink again the vomiting could recur. With green vomit I am concerned about toxin, particularly rat poison but that is not always the case. Depending on Cooper's attitude/activity level, if his vomiting recurs, he seems painful, weak, has a distended abdomen or it's possible he ate anything toxic he should be evaluated by a veterinarian. If you have a local veterinarian that knows Cooper giving them a call would be the next step as they can sometimes give more specific instructions as you have established a valid VCPR with them versus online consultations do not allow us to do so.
