Occasional vomiting or diarrhea is not uncommon but you should monitor for any weight loss or reduced appetite that may indicate a more serious problem. A fecal screen and tests for intestinal and pancreatic function may be recommended if it continues

    These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

    These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver) which commonly are caused by dietary indiscretion. If the signs occur again, a clinical examination at your local veterinarian would be ideal to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may in case be needed.
