Poor pup! More than likely, he is going experience a lot of GI upset from this. You will likely see vomiting and diarrhea, and I will give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps his stomach if that occurs. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
