Hello, sorry to hear about Mo. You can allow his GI tract to rest by removing food overnight and then starting a bland diet (plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken) for 3-5 days. If Mo develops any vomiting, diarrhea, or a decreased appetite, then he should be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian. Potential causes for this included a dietary indiscretion, ingestion of foreign material, inflammation of the bowel, pancreatitis, and less likely liver or kidney disease. Hope this helps and best of luck.
