Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm not sure what time it is now for you, but I would recommend withholding food from Bruno for about 8 hours since his vomiting episode. Always allow him access to water. Then, I recommend introducing a bland diet such as boiled chicken or hamburger and rice, in a ratio of 2 parts rice to 1 part meat. You can offer Bruno small meals 3 times a day to help rest his stomach and intestines. This may help him to not vomit and help his stools firm up. If he continues to vomit multiple times, or his diarrhea persists, I would have him evaluated by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!
