My boyfriend gave our puppy a little bit of hard salami. Our puppy shadow has been throwing up alot since and lying about to. Is it bad for him? What can I do? He won't eat anything but grass and he also won't drink water.

Yes salami is not good for dogs. withhold food for 12 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.
