Dogs and bones

Question
Hi,
  I did a bad thing.  I gave the bone from our Christmas ham to our Shiz Szu and last night and all of today he has been vomiting up pieces of bone.  There may even be blood in the vomit.  I don't know when I can get the dog to a vet.  I am just giving the dog water, no food.  After 24 hrs the vomiting still goes on still producing little bones.  Can you recommend anything I can do to help him?

Answer
I am sorry that I have not answered your question until now but I have been ill myself and not on the computer for days.
By now your issue has probably resolved itself, but when I was young, my mom always gave some soft bread to our dog if she got hold of a bone that was the splintering type. This usually worked like a charm.
