Poor Patches. Unfortunately, there are many things that can cause vomiting and/or diarrhea including but not limited to eating something they shouldn’t (human food, trash, dirt, bugs, rocks, toys, etc), a sudden change in food, intestinal parasites, toxins, bacterial infections, viral infections, kidney disease, liver disease and much more. As long as there isn’t a known chicken allergy, you can try giving PLAIN chicken (not fried or rotisserie and no bones or skin) and white rice If he isn't eating or not improving, then I strongly recommend contacting your veterinarian for an exam, possible diagnostics (for example a fecal, blood work, and/or x-rays), and medication. Please feel free to contact us again on the forum or set up a consultation if you have additional questions or want more information. Thank you.
