Oh, I hope you aren't doing too much to try to "save" him. You switched his food too quickly, and he reacted normally and got sick, and then he got his sister's treat and vomited, this again is natural, now you want to give him Pepto-Bismol. I think you should just let him deal with this on his own. Pepto-Bismol can cause constipation; every drug has some adverse effects, and it best not to give drugs, unless absolutely needed. I would hate for you to write a thread in a couple of days, saying that he has not pooped in two days, and then you have to give him a bunch of stuff for that. Don't let him eat his sister's food or treats. If given a chance, dogs often can get better on their own.

NO PEPTO!! im all better now cuz BOTH him and abby ate KIBBLE!!!! this is something that hasnt happened yet lol. im so glad. also, he's been able to keep it in so hopefully he will be better. we've decided we gonna just give him breakfast (canned food) leave kibble all day out for him and MAYBE canned foo again b4 bed. we might just mke chicken a weekend thing for him.
