There are many different reasons why Max could be throwing up. It can range from eating something that is up setting his stomach to an intestinal blockage. You can start feeding him a diet of boiled chicken and white rice for the next 24 hours. If he continues to vomit, take him into the vet. Monitor him for diarrhea, lethargy or weakness. Pay attention to if he is drinking and if he wants to eat. If he gets significantly worse, take him in today. I hope Max starts feeling better quickly!
