My dog is a medium size dog, he's been vomiting since 2 am. He wants to drink. He's not really active right now. He's throwing up bile at this point. What can I do to help him?

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Rocky boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.
