My puppy ate a cooked ham bone and is vomiting. What should I do?

Question

My 4 months GSP ate a small cocked ham bone yesterday by accident, and today he’s not doing well at all, I found vomit next to him when I came to check on him this morning to give him his breakfast, he hasn’t eaten all day, he’s drinking more water than usual, he doesn’t wanna move, he’s not interacting with me as usual. I’m so worried about him. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 3 months and 17 days old | 30 lbs

Poor Lucky! From your description of the way he's acting, I would be concerned that he the bone may have become stuck in his stomach or intestines, so I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian as soon as possible for an exam and x-rays. If the bone is causing blockage or has perforated the stomach or intestines, he will need emergency surgery to remove it and repair the damage.
