My new dog is vomiting after the dog park. What should I do?

Question

So I just got my 6 year old shih tzu yesterday, I adopted her from a vet clinic. I took her to the dog park today and on the way there and back she got sick. It's hot here so I'm sure its a number of things but I dont know what to do now that I've got her home and cleaned up. Please help!

These type of episodes are usually dietary related and very often self limiting and transient. 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.
