My dog threw up after eating salty broth. Is he okay? What to do?

Question

I'm looking after mick. I was told to avoid salt. I usually give him chicken with the broth from cooking it. Two or three days ago I ran out and added store bought brought. I gave him around 1/3 of a cup for 2 days. Two or one nights ago he threw up a little. Now I realize the broth has 140 mg per cup. Today he is doing good. Is there anything I need to do?

Hi, and thanks for your question. As these signs are likely to be related to dietary indiscretion, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
