An immediate check up is required as gastrointestinal inflammation/infection may be affecting Max. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm this clinical suspicion and treat appropriately. Antiemetic medications and antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
