Hello, I am so sorry for your concerns about Louis vomiting. If he is continuing to vomit, or is continuously retching, then yes, he should be seen by his veterinarian. But if he is quiet, then you can rest his stomach for about 12 hours. Then introduce a bland diet of 25% boiled, skinless chicken & 75% boiled white rice. If Louis is hungry, only give him a tablespoon or two every hour or so. Continue this for a day, then transition him back to his regular diet. If he refuses all food, or continues to vomit after eating &/or drinking, please have Louis evaluated. I hope he is feeling better soon. Take care.

If he continues vomiting and/or retching then I am concerned and he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. He may just be stressed, have an upset stomach from eating something abnormal, or could have a medical condition causing nausea and vomiting. If it continues or he seems lethargic then you should have a vet take a look at him to determine the cause and treat. He may need an anti-nausea medication to help. Hope he feels better soon!
