My puppy ate a bone, is vomiting and trembling. What should I do?

Question

Our Labrador mix puppy (about 3 months old) ate a teething bone. He crunched it up (unsure how small) and ate the whole thing. He has thrown up twice this morning and is now napping, but he seems to be trembling a bit with each breath. What should we do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Shooter has probably developed gastritis from eating the bone. I would recommend withholding food (water is ok as long as he’s not vomiting it all up) for 12-24 hours. After that you can try feeding him something that will be easily digestible and easy on his GI tract like plain boiled chicken and rice. If the vomiting continues for more than 24 hours and/or if he starts having diarrhea then I would take him in to the vet to be examined. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
