Hi there. My 8 month old puppy threw up in the house twice, and got diarrhea twice around 6PM EST. She was drooling a lot after throwing up. In her vomit, I found pieces of dog food, and pieces of a toy she had destroyed. She hasn't thrown up or had diarrhea since and is just resting now. I gave her some white rice and boiled chicken which she loved. Do I need to take her to the vet?

Poor girl. Hopefully the worst of it is over. Keep any eye on her tonight and then re-evaluate her in the morning. If she seems back to her normal self, then continue with the boiled chicken and rice for a few days to keep her stomach settled, then you can transition her back to her normal diet. However, if she continues to vomit through tomorrow, it is advised to take her in to your vet to get checked out. It's best to keep objects that she can put in her mouth and ingest out of her reach. Puppies are known to put just about anything in their mouth, and you don't want her to inadvertently eat something that she cannot easily pass. I do hope that Honey's stomach settles soon! Best of luck and take care.
