Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Please, do not give Chapo anything to eat or drink for the next 4-5 hrs, then offer small amount of water. If he keeps it down, you can offer more water and small amount of bland food (cooked chicken or other lean meat) in the next 1-2hrs. If he is taking the food and keeping all down you should give him more every 2-3hrs. However, if Chapo continues to vomit, you should take him to your local vets for an appointment today. Vomiting in otherwise healthy dog is usually caused by stomach upset from gastrointestinal infection, inflamed pancreas, abdominal pain.
