Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 months and 3 days old | 35 lbs
My ~35 lb puppy ate the majority of a small cooked pork shoulder last night. He napped for some time after, then woke up and played for an hour or so, as he normally does. But about 20 minutes after we laid down to sleep, he threw up. Then again about 30 minutes later. The consistency was unsaturated and mostly bits of soft bone/ marrow. No shards or splinters that I saw. And no blood.

Given that Harmony has been vomiting all night, she should be a vet immediately. Pork should never be fed to dogs because the high fat content can cause pancreatitis, and the vomiting can be symptomatic of that. The bones could also be causing the vomiting, as they can cause obstruction in the GI tract. The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests, a urinalysis, and x-rays to diagnose what is causing Harmony's vomiting and can treat her for it. Please find a vet on call to see her now or take her into an ER vet.
