Gastrolyte and ginger ale.
TBEB
Rice, banana, applesauce, lots of fluids.
Jaelle
been eating soda crackers, arrowroot cookies and gingerale
Jaelle
the banana started the vomiting for me
Corgi
Starlite mints

Those always prop me up without triggering the reflex cycle.
Jaelle
I don't understand
Corgi
Something my vet taught me - drinking water can trigger the vomiting reflex, making your attempts at hydration futile. However, I found that I can get some energy from a mint candy w/o problems.
Kamilahhauptmann
Popsicles. Mead worthy of Valhalla when low on carbs, and fluids.
Jaelle
ah

I wish that worked

What
TBEB
said. Basically stay hydrated and ride it out. If the vomiting goes on for more than a couple of days then seek further medical assistance.
Foggy
Mint can actually be irritating to the stomach so I wouldn't recommend. YMMV.
Jaelle
I am sticking to bland foods

I hope you'll both feel better soon!
