It sounds like Buddy is having some gastritis, or an inflammation in the lining of the stomach wall. This is probably because of the bug he ate. If the vomiting continues for more than 24 hours I would recommend taking Buddy in to the vet to make sure nothing else too serious is going on. He may also need some nausea medication and fluids since he has been vomiting so much. I would also try to withhold food for about 12-24 hours to help settle his stomach. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

Hello there, it sounds like Kevin does have an upset in the stomach or gut with the mixture of vomit and change in faeces. If he is still bright and alert and can keep water down I would try withholding food for 24 hours then feed him rice and chicken. He may just have a touch of a tummy bug it eaten so.ething slightly bad. However, if he can't stop vomiting or starts to get dull I would get him to a vet in case something more serious is going on. If he is very unsettled it may be a good idea to take him to the vet anyway to get something to help if he is in pain.
