 Not exactly. It's about the same as what you do for humans.

It is normal for dogs to vomit occasionally -- well, technically it may not even be vomiting. As a species they feed their young puppies by regurgitating food, it's natural for them. Plus, some breeds have faulty valves at the top of their stomachs, which means they basically have a reflux problem like some human babies. Solution for reflux type of problem is smaller more frequent meals..

For a dog that clearly has a tummy bug, you need to starve the bug out.

In theory you could frequently give very small amounts of water, which would keep the animal hydrated but not necessarily lead to being sick. This is how gastro-enteritis needs to be treated in people, too.

Problem is that dogs find it hard to just have a sip of water. So the standard advice for vomiting dogs is to give no food or water for 6 hours after the last vomiting episode, and then start giving very small amounts of water fairly frequently. Proceed like this for a minimum of 12 hours, slowly increasing the amount of water to the point where the dog is drinking as much as they like. If STILL no vomiting, then proceed to a very bland diet comprised of small portions. Typically made up of white rice and tender well-cooked chicken. Keep this up for 3 days.
