Reggie was neutered last Tuesday. He was given Medicam(sp?) for pain to take for 5 days. Sunday night he took his last dose. Yesterday he vomited once that looked like foamy water and we all figured it was the pain meds he had been on because he had been eating less since he had his surgery. Plus he did not eat anything yesterday morning before he threw up. Also, we had our collie on that same med once for arthritis and after a week he started vomiting. So I called the vet yesterday and she said to withhold food for 2 hours then give him boiled chicken and rice. Did that and he at the food just fine. This morning gave him the same about 7:30 am and he ate fine. Came home from work at 2pm today and he had thrown up in his crate. I cleaned all that up, let him potty and then had to take Stacia for a doctor's appt. When I got back he threw up 2 times more. Each time it was chicken and rice that didn't look digested much to me. I called the vet again and she says to withhold food tonight then offer ice cubes late tonight or in the AM.

The thing that has me worried is that she said if he ate chicken and rice at 7:30 am it should have been digested by now and not be coming back up looking like it did. Then she mentioned can happen when there is an obstruction and asked if he could have swallowed something. Well you all know how he likes to swallow everything but to my knowledge he hasn't swallowed anything. Now I am just freaked out.

Has anyone else ever had their dog to throw up whole food hours after eating it from anything other than an obstruction? I wanna believe this is all still sensitivity from the Medicam.
