Poor Roxy! I'm concerned that something she ingested could have been toxic or caused something severe like an intestinal obstruction or pancreatitis. I recommend having Roxy examined by a veterinarian right away. She may need X-rays or blood work to ensure she does not need surgery or extensive treatment. She will likely need supportive care or injections to help settle her stomach. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Roxy is feeling better soon!
