This morning I saw Carlos threw up, and i am worried because he does this extremely rarely. I feed him twice a day: in the morning only a little bit just before I go to work and the main meal in the evening. The main meal is 400-500 gr of Purina Pro Plan Junior (because he prefers small crocks) and in the mornings he gets smth else, usually some BARF.
Last 2 evenings he ate more than usually but I didn't get concerned and now I consider a visit to the vet. He is active and happy like usual but the whole thing got me scared since I'm such an over-protective "mom".

Someone has been in this before? Please help me with some advice.
I didn't see him throwing up, I only saw the pile and it was almost half of what he ate last night, not very well digested...

Is it ok or should I really freak out?

Oh if I had a nickle for every time Samson threw up what he just ate!...Just keep an eye on him...If he is eating, pooping, acting o.k. he probably is just fine...Even our pooches get a tummy ache now & again...Not to worry! :)

Thanx, I will keep an eye on him
if anything suspicious, we go to the vet

he's always been so healthy, and that's why i'm so worried...

ok, i've completely relaxed now
of course he's got a now toy today, just for being mom's "sweet may-be sick boy"

he's ok, playful and everth
i'll take care not to overfeed him for a day or 2

and definitely don't engage in play after he eats. Bava did that for a couple nights in a row and freaked me out. Only his was like the whole bowl of food back up.
& isn't it amazing how it always looks like they ate 20 cups instead of 4 or 5? :-\ :D

my Nala rarely throws up but I have a rule "if they are playing, eating treats, pooping, and act ok it must be a bug" if it last more than 24 hrs. vet time.
