Update: Yoshi threw up two more times last night after I gave him Cerenia, so we took him to an emergency animal hospital. There, the vet supposed that he might have IBD, and suggested that we start diagnostics (abdominal ultrasound, and then probably either an endoscopy or a GI biopsy surgery). I would hate to do this to such a young and otherwise healthy dog, but what are my options??

They gave him fluids, a shot of Cerenia, and a shot of Zantac. I withheld food and water for 5 hours, and then gave him a smaller portion of his food with Tylan and a little bit of Pedialyte. After I took him on a short walk, he threw up a little. The receptionist at the emergency vet said to monitor him and call back if he throws up again.

I am worried sick, especially since I have to go to work tomorrow, and I hate leaving him when he's not feeling well.
