My dog ate a pork chop bone and is vomiting. What should I do now?

Question

Good afternoon my dog name is Lola she just turned 13months. Since last night she’s been vomiting, 3/4x so far that I know of. She hasn’t had an appetite but is drinking water. I actually believe it’s because she ate a pork chop bone last night. She never had a bone before or pork for that matter. Any suggestions? Should I get her wet food or wait? Also she has vomited the bone up but now it’s more water based. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old

I agree it's likely the bone causing Lola to vomit. Dogs should never been given cooked bones because they easily break in the GI tract, leading to perforation and obstruction of the GI tract. Because she vomited the bone up, I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
