As long as he is behaving normally otherwise, you can try withholding all food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte during this fasting period.
Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount if there is no vomiting. Once the vomiting stops for 24 hours, gradually transition to the regular diet
If the vomiting persists, see your veterinarian. Other symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian include diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.
