My golden retriever puppy, age 8 months, got up on his back legs and ate vegetable oil out of a pot on the stove (my husband made some Christmas stuff and left it out overnight to cool so we could throw it out). He has been throwing up - twice shortly afterwards, and then I had to go to an appointment, so I put him in the bathroom upstairs so that he wouldn't cause too much damage - came home about an hour later and he had thrown up. I thought maybe that was all of it and put him outside for a bit. He came back in and threw up on the steps, turned around and threw up in the hallway and then went into the kitchen and threw up again. He seems fine otherwise. He's outside right now.
My husband doesn't think he needs to go to the vet - my vet is closed anyway - everything I find online regarding ingesting vegetable oil is about GIVING it to puppies to help their digestive. That clearly isn't helping.

It's quite possible that the excess fat has caused acute pancreatitis - you should bring him to a vet if this vomitting continues - pancreatitis is nothing to fool around with. Flip Christine O'Meally wrote:

I would at least call the vet. Most of the time the vet on call will return your call and ask some questions. It could be that the oil could have irritated his pancreas.

I hope he is ok! Please let us know how he is.... T. Thank you all - he's fine now. He stopped being sick sometime around
3pm and has been as good as new ever since. In fact, that night he "ate" a remote control for our TV - a replacement remote for the one he destroyed after thanksgiving. <shaking head> Chris
