I have withheld his food for a 24 hr period and gave him only water...also, gave him cooked white meat chicken strips..he will not eat rice...he kept the chicken down for about 2 hours and then vomited it up..it came up looking like vanilla pudding? Same thing happened last night though he kept the chicken down for almost 5-6 hours...I have not seen any blood in his vomit or coffee ground looking stuff..this is the first time he has ever thrown up this much..I am scared that he has an obstruction in his tummy or his digestive tract is blocked..what can I do to get him some relief..I am reading about giving pepto bismol, pepsid ac/ even benadryl..or slippery elm..if I do dose him with slippery elm how much would I give him? he weighs around 20lbs..
