My puppy is vomiting on and off but still has energy. Should I worry?

Question

Hi, my 7 month old puppy has been vomiting on and off for the last 24hrs. He's still has an appetite, has lots of energy, and has been drinking water but occasionally can't keep it down or throws up yellow bile. He's also had solid poops and 0 diarrhea. Should we be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Rhodesian Ridgeback | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 14 days old | 50 lbs

Hello. At this point, since Henley still has an appetite, I think you can wait a bit. Has he been checked for worms recently? That might be some thing to look at. Otherwise, let's rest his gut for about 24 hours. Replace the water in his bowl with ice cubes so he does not gulp down water. You will need to replace the cubes frequently, but he will not overdo things. Feed him a bland diet is small amounts. Mix 25% cooked chicken or hamburger ( no skin or fat ) & 75% plain rice or low fat cottage cheese & offer no more than a cup every 3-4 hours for the next 24 hours & see if this resets his gut. Anything changes or worsens, please see your vet for additional testing or treatments. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
