I agree with you, it could have been because it was something "weird" that she was not used to. Or, the piece could have been too big, and the tomato skin got caught trying to exit her stomach so she threw it back up.
Vomiting from acid reflux often happens in the morning on an empty stomach. Bella had that, so we feed her her regular food just before bedtime, and again first thing in the morning and she is fine. I would not recommend giving antacids (or any other human medicine, prescription OR over-the counter) except under a vet's recommendation and supervision. In Bella's case, the vet said that I *could* have given 1/4 of an omeprazole pill once a day, but that was not necessary since the more frequent feedings stopped the problem. |
I didn't cut it into tiny pieces because usually she chews her food but maybe she didn't. I just gave her a slice. I already took the seeds out and washed it with cold water.
As for the acid reflux, she just has a sensitive stomach. I.e. makes really soft / loose stool if she eats something too odd...
But it's weird because I regret to admit that there was this one time I was eating a sub/sandwhich and a piece of tomato fell to the ground(a whole slice) it had mayo on it and possibly a dab of cheese. But she never barfed it up. It's why I thought it was okay.
I was annoyed at myself because we brought her upstairs to spend time with us and my sibling and the dog left a present in the carpet.
The whole night she was trying to throw up more(but she already threw up)
