Poor Bruno. Yes, I would be concerned, this trash visit could be causing his issues. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, 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. Best of luck.

This vomiting could be due to eating this donut. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, 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.

If he is otherwise acting normal, you could withhold food for the day and see if the vomiting stops. If the vomiting stops than offer him a small amount of a bland diet, like boiled chicken and white rice. If he continues to vomit or becomes lethargic than he needs to be examined by a vet to treat the vomiting. Your vet can give him fluids to prevent dehydration and prescribe medications to control the vomiting.

You could try some Pepcid. If he weighs less than 10 pounds give 5mg once a day. If he weighs if he is 10-20 pounds you can give him 5mg twice a day. If he is 20-40 pounds give him 10mg twice a day. If he is over 40 pounds you can give him 15-20mg twice a day. there are a lot of things that can cause vomiting so I would strongly encourage you to see if the humane society can help you with any treatment or low cost medicine. I hope this helps!
