My 3-year-old has given my 13-week-old French Bulldog, Harley, an excessive amount of dry food. Harley has vomited twice, had diarrhea twice, is swollen and distended, and is breathing normally. The vomit contained food, and he is drinking a good bit this morning. He has not eaten anything unusual, just chew toys yesterday. Harley typically eats a vacuum-style, and we feed him 3 times a day with a small handful of Baby Blue for puppies. What should I do for Harley?
