Vomiting Your judgment regarding the seriousness of the vomiting is critical. If the vomit contains any blood at all, call the veterinarian immediately. If your pet seems alert, active and seems unconcerned about the vomiting, then you may try cautious observation at home. Withhold food for 12-24 hours. After the vomiting has ceased for 4 hours, you may give ice chips or small amounts of water for 12 hours. If vomiting has not resumed, slowly increase the amount of water and food again over the next 24 hours. If the animal is not interested in food or vomits repeatedly, seek veterinary attention immediately. (Any pet that eats grass will probably vomit the grass and stomach contents... this is generally of no consequence.) |
