Poor Oso. I would withhold food tonight, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice starting in the morning in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he refuses to eat the bland diet, 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. I hope this helps!
