My puppy vomited after new food and is drooling. Should I worry?

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 4 months and 1 day old | 21 lbs

Our four month old puppy vomited up everything he ate for dinner around 8pm. (We gave him a new food) He is drooling quite a bit since then should we be concerned? Is there anything that we should do for him?

Drooling can be a sign of nausea in dogs. You can with hold food and water for the night to let his stomach rest. In the morning, you can try a small amount of boiled chicken and rice as this is gentle on their GI tracts to see how he handles it and if he is interested. IF you notice persistent vomiting tonight, diarrhea (especially bloody), or lethargy, then I would get concerned and take him to an ER clinic tonight If he has no appetite tomorrow then I would get him checked also
