Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bittu. If he is hospitalized with your veterinarian on IV fluids, it is not usually necessary to provide oral water. It is more likely to make him vomit. If he is at home, then he will need to drink to stay properly hydrated. Hopefully he has been prescribed anti-nausea medication to help decrease his vomiting. I hope this information helps!
