My dog is throwing up after surgery and stopping his pain meds.

My dog has had a leg operation and after coming off his tablets 5 days ago he has started vomiting. It's hours after he has eaten and food looks somewhat digested. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 26 lbs

That may be just an incidental episode which will be self limiting and resolving. As a general approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
