My dog vomited after a new chew treat and won't eat. Should I worry?

Question

I gave Wallace a “long lasting” edible chew treat on Friday night. He’s prone to getting diarrhea whenever I give him anything new. So he had that through the weekend, but yesterday he didn’t devour his food like usual. He still ate eventually though. last night he vomited and again today (Monday) he’s still seems weary of eating. But he’s not acting lethargic or anything. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 10 months and 17 days old | 85 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are a few possibilities here. One possibility is that he has dietary indiscretion (upset stomach) which is causing him these signs. Another possibility (and more concerning) is something like a gastrointestinal obstruction causing him the signs. I would recommend a visit to your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may take abdominal radiographs and consider symptomatic treatment to make him feel better right away. I would shy away from those treats in the future. Good luck and have a great day!
