Hi there and thanks for your post! I am sorry Miller is not feeling well. I would advise withholding food from Miller until tomorrow morning (he can have water). If he continues to vomit tonight or vomits tomorrow before or after breakfast or if becomes weaker tonight, I would take Miller into see his veterinarian. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
