It is a vaccination reaction if they are excessively vomiting. So if he vomited once or twice I just have people watch them. If you are concerned because it has been more then that I would recommend calling your veterinarian so they can treat him. There are injections you can give that will stop the vomiting and make Thor feel much better. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    Did she have a vaccine today? If so it is possible she is having a reaction. Please call or take her back to see if she needs any care for a possible vaccination reaction. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon.
