It could be that the bone has upset Bullseye's stomach leading him to vomit. I never recommend giving bones to dogs because of the risk of broken teeth and intestinal obstruction. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps him. Withhold food for 12 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, you see blood in his feces, he stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps!

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
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!

my dog threw up her food (no liquid just food) and has been having intermittent shakes. she had nothing out of the normal other than a primal bone, sweet potato and her normal dog food. She had the primal bone earlier today (frozen marrow bone) maybe
The bone could be causing Joey some problems. Bones can get caught in the GI tract causing an obstruction. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food tonight, then in the morning 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 refuses to eat the bland diet, 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. I hope this helps!

Hi someone gave my dog raw meat he threw up four times ate some grass and drank water atm he's not vomiting but sitting quietly
Poor Dobby! It sounds like the raw meat has upset his stomach, and I can give you a home remedy to try 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. In the future, I would refrain from allowing anyone to give him raw meat. Good luck, I hope this helps!
