Since your dog has cancer, I would be concerned that the vomiting is being caused by the disease and not the drug...
I am not sure if it's because I give it to him as soon as he is done eating or if it is the cancer it's self just taking another turn. I am hoping he will eat in the morning and keep it down all day. I never give any pills to him on an empty stomach. I just hope I have a little more time with him. He is very alert and drinking even barking at sounds he hears with our windows open. It's hard to make a decission to leyt them go when they still have so much life, But, if he can't keep food down I will know it is the cancer and I wont let him suffer. I had my partner take a lot of pictures of Drake and me tonight. I like so many of us have been crying a lot and we have been going through so much other stuff like others that it is like living in a fog
