My little guy had some stomach issues at about the same age. He started vomiting bile, then progressed over the next couple weeks to vomiting blood. He was diagnosed with bleeding ulcers in both the upper and lower digestive tract at that time. He got over it then, and now he's 5 years. Sometimes he still has a sensitive stomach. It seems that once it gets started, it continues for a few days. The yogurt helps, but, when the sensitive stomach continues, a scant 1/4 or less of a Pepcid before bedtime helps him sleep without wretching or waking up vomiting. As always, ASK YOUR VET FIRST. Also, when he gets very sensitive, I switch to homemade rice and chicken or venison. He prefers the venison.
