Just like people, there are many conditions that can make pets vomit. This could range from bacterial over growth to intestinal blockage. Also like us, diseases are best addressed early and this may result in a better prognosis. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian today since he is continuously vomiting. The doctor will need to learn the underlying cause in order to give appropriate treatment. Bring in a stool sample in case the doctor needs to test it. I hope Nike starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
