Hello, thank you for your question about Nannu. If he is not used to getting coconut oil as part of his normal diet it is possible that it is causing GI upset, which could explain the vomiting and the noise that you are hearing in his stomach. I would recommend offering him other dietary options that he is used to for the next 3-5 days. If there is no improvement I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian to ensure that there is nothing else more serious going on. Hope this helps, good luck!
