It has been 11 hours since I discovered him with the chocolate bar. How can I tell if he is just tired, or if he is seriously sick? I was so upset that I didn't think to ask how much or how often I could give him milk of magnesia. Does anyone have any experience with it?
how many times did he throw up? maybe that upset his stomach; however he needs to drink water to replace the liquid he lost from vomiting; how about if you give some gerber baby food just for him to eat something and at the same time get some liquid. i know u called the vet; but i think just to be on the safe side; take him to the vet for a quick checkup; and maybe they can rehydrate him; good luck and i hope he feels better soon.
