My dog threw up antler pieces and yellow bile. What should I do?

Question

Hi. I bought a deer antler from our pet store for my one year old chihuahua. I gave it to him yesterday and he was knowing on it for about 2 hours. At 5.30 this morning he woke up being sick, yellow frothy bile. Since that time he has thrown up a further 4 times all containing yellow bile, but the last two occasions there was a piece of the antler in there too. What should I do?

Poor Milo! If he is otherwise acting normal then you could withhold food for the day and see if the vomiting resolves. If so, then you could try a small amount of a bland diet, boiled chicken and white rice, this afternoon. Continue feeding the bland diet for a few days and the gradually transition back to his regular food. If the vomiting continues and/or he becomes lethargic then he needs to be examined by a vet for treatment. Your vet can take an x-ray, if needed, and then prescribe medications to help control the vomiting and make him feel better.
