Ideally, Timber should be physically examined by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. Abdominal x-rays should be done to rule out a partial or complete obstruction. IV or subcutaneous fluids can be given to rehydrate him if necessary. If he is vomiting, do not feed him. Fast him for 8-12 hours then try a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. You can offer very small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte, no more than a tablespoon or two at a time every hour. If the vomiting persists, stop and have him checked/rechecked by your vet.
