It depends on how Bongo is acting and what type of intestinal infection he had previously. If he is acting ok and doing well otherwise then I would watch him and see if he does it again. If he is lethargic, not eating or not doing well then I would recommend calling your veterinarian and making an appointment with them.

    It sounds as Bongo is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
