    My 6 month threw up twice

    My 6 month pomeranian threw up twice. When we take him out he has been eating grass and twigs. Could this have made him sick? First time it was clumpy the second more like phlegm. Can I give him pepto bismol?

    Don't let him eat twigs - that can perforate the intestine and cause a blockage. 

    Is he pooping ok?  Drinking water ok?? 

    I generally use the Pepto caplets -- and for Kee (peke) I give half one for diarreha.  But for a dog I tend to give chamomile to settle the stomach.  I give the tea in a medicine syringe and add the wet herbs to the next meal.

    Some people fast a dog with an upset stomach.  But I probably wouldn't a puppy.  If you have to keep the dog on leash outside - DON'T let the dog eat wood like that.

    Yes he is pooping and drinking ok. He is also happy and running around. Think I will give him chamomile tea.

    Thanks for the advice it's greatly appreciated. :)
