My dog ate salt and vinegar rice cakes and is vomiting. Why?

Question

Jake ate a tiny peice of salt and vinegar rice cakes... and now he's been sick? The sick is just previously ate food? What could cause this? Can it be because of the rice cake? :(? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old

I wouldn't think a small rice cake would cause this, but eating any food that isn't his normal dog food could make him sick if he has a sensitive stomach. I would not feed him anything for 12 hours then give him small amounts of chicken and rice (no bones) to see if this will settle his stomach. if he is just continuously vomiting, lethargic, or not eating then I would take him to your vet for an exam. Your vet will be able to do bloodwork and X-rays if needed and come up with an appropriate treatment plan for him. I hope this helps!
