Ok, now I have a fuller understanding. When you give peroxide, it usually acts very fast, and it might be best to stay with the dog. I was told that if Joey didn't vomit after 15 minutes to give another dose, so what you did would be within guidelines, but I think you're correct and this could have hurt his stomach or esophagus a little. Anytime a dog vomits, they will become more leery of food, and sometimes will associate that vomiting with the food they ate, especially if it's a new food. I would think he would be eating normally by today. Glad you acted so fast in the first place, you probably saved his life!
