He had his rabies and distemper boosters on Wednesday (2 days ago) the vet game me his dewormer to give him at home. He was lithargic from the shots most of Wednesday evening and a bit yesterday but was back to his same old self today. This afternoon around 3 I gave him the dewormer in a piece of apple. About an hour later he threw up about a tablespoon. So to err on the side of caution, I made him rice with about 5 pieces of kibble for dinner. He ate all of it, and then about a half hour afterwards started throwing up. He has thrown up 4 times since... all small amounts 1/2 to 1 tablespoon. I think he is done now, and from what I read on YT it's probably a delayed reaction to the shots but more probably an upset tummy from the dewormer pill. I'm going to watch him for signs of dehydration and give him just rice all of tomorrow just to be sure. Is there anything else I should watch for? Do I need to let the vet know now or just meantion it at our next appointment? (Come to think of it I might just call Monday and have them put it in his file before I forget). Anything I should know/

Thanks
