Poor Dobby! It sounds like the raw meat has upset his stomach, and I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. In the future, I would refrain from allowing anyone to give him raw meat. Good luck, I hope this helps!

    Poor Dobby! It sounds like he doesn't feel well for sure. It could be diet-related, or it could be any number of other things causing him to feel poorly. I'd recommend a visit to your vet for a full workup including blood work, abdominal radiographs, and urinalysis. If all these things are normal, consider deworming him as well. If you are feeding any raw meat with his food he will always be at risk for parasites and bacterial disease--this is why we don't usually eat raw meat as a general rule.
