Your dog started vomiting shortly after trying a new vitamin. This could be a reaction to the vitamin, and it's understandable to feel concerned about whether or not to continue using it.
- Consider discontinuing the vitamin temporarily.
- Monitor other symptoms your dog might be experiencing.
- Consult with a veterinarian about the best course of action.
It's possible that your dog's vomiting was a reaction to the new vitamin, as they sometimes can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. It might be a one-time occurrence, but if the vomiting persists or other symptoms develop, stopping the vitamin and reaching out to a professional would be wise. Always introduce new supplements gradually, and ensure they are suitable for your dog's specific health needs.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
