Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Teddy! Teddy is shaking after he vomits and has diarrhea (?) is because he either doesn't feel good or is scared. People and babies do the same thing after they vomit. The best thing is to find out why the vomiting is happening if it is often. If it isn't often and after the vomit episode Teddy is fine then the shaking is a normal part of vomiting. Causes of vomiting and diarrhea are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections. ate something gross outside that is upsetting his stomach, foreign body ingestion (something is stuck and needs surgery), toxin ingestion or food allergy or sensitivity. If this the vomiting is abnormal and/or a new thing and it continues I recommend taking Teddy to the Vet for an exam. I hope this helps and I wish you and Teddy the best!
