Jordy is very handsome! Because turkey is high in fat (especially if fed when cooked with the skin on) I'd be concerned that Jordy has a degree of gastroenteritis (stomach and intestinal inflammation) secondary to eating turkey. He could also have a more severe issue like pancreatitis or bacterial overgrowth. If Jordy is otherwise acting normally, I'd recommend a small bland meal of boiled chicken and sweet potato or rice in a few hours. However, if he continues to vomit or have diarrhea, acts lethargic, stops eating or drinking then he should be examined by a veterinarian. Because his digestive issues have been going on for a few days it's likely he will need prescription medications like Flagyl or Cerenia to help treat. The longer the diarrhea and vomiting continues the more I would become concerned that Jordy may become dehydrated, so it's always best to err on the side of caution and see a veterinarian sooner rather than later. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Jordy is feeling better soon!
