ok im sorry but this is about my jack russell and you all are the only people i can trust. rowdy just found an ice cube right after his dinner and after he ate it...he started throwing up everything!!! could it have been the ice cube? also i should mention that my yorkie is currently on anitbiotics for coccidia as well as my jack russell in case if he had it. should i go to the emergency vet? freak out? or just see if he will eat again? was it the ice cube?

Oh I'm sorry to hear this. I doubt that it was from the ice cube. I'm not real good about advice so this should bump up your post and hopefully someone with more experience will respond. I hope your baby feels better soon!

Difficult to say if it had anything to do with the ice cube. Probably not, IMO. I'd just watch him and see if there is any other sign of distress. Watch his activity level, and whether there is any more vomiting or any diarrhea. He may just have eaten too fast or too much.

If he seems lethargic, or dehydrated (check his gums, they should be pink), if there is more vomit or diarrhea, you should see your vet.

OK well I can't know for sure, but it's VERY possible it was the ice cube. Mine have puked immediately after drinking very cold water, swallowing ice (they are fine if they chew it up first) and also when they eat something very hot (usually a hot piece of boiled potato... we do our best to keep them out of the kitchen but )

The antibiotics could also make his stomach upset.

If he just threw up the one time, I would just watch him and see how he is acting. It's probably fine. If it persists and you think he might be dehydrated or ate something dangerous then I would take him in.
