It's probably just an upset stomach. withhold food for 8 hours then offer Tori boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.

I would feed him the rice/chicken mixture another day and then slowly introduce his regular puppy food (keep replacing small amounts of the rice mix with her food until you arrive at 100% regular food). His tummy should be ok by then. Should he appear ill, lethargic or stop eating and drinking, you will need to take him to the vet, as he may have a gastro-intestinal infection. He can be vaccinated as soon as he is healthy and happy again. Hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm, and are usually nothing to worry about.

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Bear 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.
