It's great to hear that your Boston Terrier remains active and playful, which is certainly a positive sign. Vomiting in young dogs can stem from various causes, but since your dog's vomiting is episodic and not accompanied by symptoms like lethargy or diarrhea, it might be due to dietary indiscretion, eating too quickly, or a mild gastrointestinal upset.

Here are a few steps you can take at home to help manage the situation:

Firstly, ensure that your dog is consuming a balanced diet suitable for their age, and try to avoid giving them table scraps or new treats that could upset their stomach. Additionally, consider feeding smaller, more frequent meals to prevent overeating and reduce the likelihood of vomiting.

It's also helpful to monitor for any specific triggers, such as certain foods or activities, that might be causing the vomiting. Make sure your dog always has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration, and allow them some quiet time after meals to aid digestion.

If the vomiting continues or you notice any changes in behavior or additional symptoms, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying issues. Keep an eye on your dog's condition, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
