withhold food for 12 hours then offer Poppi boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If Symptoms do not resolve or get worse, take him to the vet to get treatment.
