As long as Mollie is behaving normally and doesn't have diarrhea or any other symptoms, you can try withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with one tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount if there is no vomiting. Feed the bland diet until there is no vomiting for 48 hours then transition slowly to her regular diet. See your veterinarian if Mollie develops diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.
