Hello, sorry to hear about Chase. You can have your veterinarian induce vomiting, however, this may not cause significant clincal signs. He may develop some diarrhea and vomiting as well as a decreased appetite. This is likely due to a dietary indiscretion, however this can also be from hime developing pancreatitis. If you note these signs and they persist for longer the 3-5 days, or if he vomits more than 3 -4 times in one day, or if he develops bloody diarrhea then he should be evaluated immediately. In the interim, you can feed him a bland diet of plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken, and low fat cottage cheese. Hope this helps and best of luck.
