Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. As long as Radar does not show any worrying symptoms at the moment and his energy level is normal you should monitor him at home. However, if he starts to vomit, passing stools with blood, or having difficulties to pass stools, you should take him to your local vets for an appointment right away.
