I am sorry to hear about Chewie. If his energy levels appear normal and he has stopped vomiting you can continue to observe him. We normally recommend nothing orally for 6 to 8 hours (no food or water) after vomiting to give the stomach a rest and then slowly reintroduce water then food http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=353. If he continues to vomit then a vet exam is needed. Other reasons to seek veterinary care include lethargy/weakness, pale gums, painful or swollen abdomen, or vomiting blood.
