Puppy ate object, now peeing a lot and very hungry. Should I worry?

Question

Hi. My puppy ate some foreing object and he was vomiting(4times) yesterday. Thank God he expelled this morning. To avoid dehydration I gave him pedialite. And today I just gave him liquids. But he's urinating a whole lot mor than usual. Lets say every 20-25 minutes. And the pee is clear. Also this past week he became very ravenous when eating. Should I be worried?

Poor Gregor! He has been through a lot! If I am understanding you correctly, he has vomited up the foreign object. If he vomited up the foreign object and is feeling better, then I would recommend offering a bland diet such as boiled chicken mixed with rice. Offer just a tablespoon or 2 and see if he can keep it down. He is urinating a lot of clear urine most likely because he is well hydrated (good job!) But, if he is feeling better, and not vomiting, it is time to start feeding him. If he holds down the small meal, offer that every hour for the first day. Then on day 2- feed it for 3 meals. If he does well for that, start mixing it with his original diet and get him back on a regular feeding schedule. If he became ravenous before the foreign object, it is most likely that he is on a growth spurt. If he doesn't want to eat, is still vomiting or is lethargic- please take Gregor in for an exam at a veterinarian. He could still have another foreign object or another problem.
