Help my dogs

I have 2 American/oldenglish bulldogs one is 2 1/2 & one is 1 1/2. They are brothers? But from different liters, they are always hyper, happy, & loving. They eat the same dog food every morning, once in awhile they will get a bite if ppl food, however Wednesday evening they got some pizza cheese flavor Mac n cheese... Problem a cup each. Thursday my 2 1/2 yr old buddy started vomitting & won't eat or drink. My 1 1/2 yr old Scrappie started the same thing on Friday.  On Saturday we gave them some pepto bismo & they both are drinking water today, I made them some "wet" white rice but they still refuse to eat. They are very lethargic & look skinny, neither is dehydrated. I don't have money to take them to the vet because I had brain surgery & currently have no income, please help!!

Try withholding food for 24 hours but they still need fluids.
Then try feeding some boiled or poached chicken (no skin) and rice in small amounts every 2-3 hours.
I see you are in Ohio.  This would be the worst case scenario but there are reports of a virus there which would warrant a Vet visit.
I will find my original post and bump it up.  Please read it.
Hope they are better by now.

This started a couple of days ago so if the dogs are drinking water and no longer vomiting - keep giving them water and try to get them to eat something mild like the rice you have tried.

I don't know why dogs like plain white rise, but I can say my Westie does and if he refused some white rice that would mean something was wrong.

I don't know why cheese would cause a problem, but it seems you now know on thing not to feed them.  

In general never give a dog anything spicy
