Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These sometimes can be high in calories and sugar and may cause stomach upset resulting in diarrhea, vomiting and perhaps innapetence. However, there is a good chance that Sam will be just fine. If you notice the previously noted symptoms, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
