The vet said to not feed him that night and give him a bland diet in the am and to bring him in if he wasn't any better or I could leave him for observation for the day.
Well, after a couple of hours he was better and he did want to eat so I gave him some food, the next morning he was totally fine and back to running around. He's been fine since then too. Could it have been due to being overheated? |
yes throwing up is usually the first sign of overheating. If he starts to get lethargic it is very important to get him to the vet because his internal organs can be damaged due to the heat. Even though he may "look" ok there can be things going on inside that a vet should look at.
