My Golden Retriever puppy is 2 months, 15 days old and is vomiting white foam?
Sometimes we can try to diagnose happenings like this at home but other times it is imperative that we seek professional help.
This seems like one of those times you need to consult a vet as your puppy is at just the right age for serious problems to happen and these things can get very serious quickly.
This could be a sign of other than Parvo but why take a chance?
Read some comments from vets about a puppy vomiting white foam: Kennel cough?
"Kennel Cough: Vomiting white foam can be a symptom of kennel cough, especially when experienced alongside eye discharge, a runny nose, and a hacking cough. Parvovirus and even rabies can also sometimes result in foamy vomit.
Vet visits, especially on the weekend, can be very expensive but the most important thing right now seems to be what is causing this problem and what needs to be done..
If you have an outside garden and the dog goes out to play all the time he could have eaten some of your plant leaves or even the grass in the garden. It can be normal for them to vomit a little white foam if they have eaten some grass. This is just cleaning out his stomach. But if he continues on like this it is not normal and the dog needs to go see the vet.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
if your dog won't eat and is sick at his stomach what should I do/ When he threw up it had a tiny amount of foam. He also cannot poop.
It sounds to me like he has a blockage, like he ate something and it won't come out the other end. The "foam" is probably a breakdown of whatever it is he ate. There is really nothing you can do except get him to a vet to see what is in his stomach, and the sooner, the better.
What it more than likely was is the dog had eaten some grass or some sort of plant leaves. My dogs do this all the time and they are always throwing up the leaves. At first this really bothered me, but now I know they love to go in the yard and eat the plant leaves. I don't grow any dangerous plants in my yard because of the animals. Just keep an eye on the dog and see if you catch him trying to eat some grass or leaves during his walk.

I have a Siberian Husky who is a little over a year old. She was hit by a car almost a month ago, I took her to the vet, she had two major surgeries. Her stomach can only hold liquids, and she vomits everything else, and she is very skinny and still losing weight. The vet and I are trying several things, but I am afraid for her. Is there anything I can give her to help? Please reply if you have ANY ideas! Thank you!
Have the vet do bloodwork to ensure there is not an infection taking over. Also check her electrolytes.
Keep her fluids up. Do the broth routine with water as well.
I went thru a similiar situation after surgery 3 years ago . If it was not for continious IV fluids, I would've died.
Sorry to hear about your poor baby.
Hopefully your vet can fix this or consider seeing another vet.
There is a product you can get from the vet. It's in a tube, has lots of great nutrition and apparently tastes yummy for dogs.
It's very rich and expensive and he cant live on it but it might at least give him some strength to heal what he needs to heal.
Does anyone else know the product I am speaking of? People often use it for dogs that are sick and dont feellike eating.
Best of luck and love to you both.
try fast track from conklin it is probiotic and will help her stomach and has other forms that will help your poor baby. email me for info if you would like.

I would ask the vet to be in touch with the nearest vet college, they are the top of the industry. Hope she's doing better today!
The vet college is good but if you don't have one FIND ANOTHER VET!! This person is incompetent!!
Go out and get a couple cans of Iams canned puppy food...and a box of Gerber baby RICE cereal. Don't get the oatmeal or mixed..it needs to be the rice cereal. Use about 1/3 of the can of the puppy food and mix in 1/2 cup of rice cereal. It's bland, but has tons of carbs. Using hot water, mix it until its thin enough that she won't throw it up. She should be able to keep it down. Feed her this at least 6 times a day. Some dogs have a very sensitive stomach after a trauma. If she can keep this down, she will be able to eat regularly again later on. Give her time to adjust, but keep the meals small and frequent. Good luck!
If this vet has no answers get one that does without haste and never go to him again!
get another vet first. how about gatoraide. ally will drink anything if she sees me drink it. or chicken broth.
I feel very bad for your dog. I had a little beagle that started vomiting ALOT and was in the hospital for awhile. They tried all kinds of stomach meds and finally gave him CENTRINE. It calmed his stomach and stopped the vomiting. I hope this helps and I hope your little fur baby gets better. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.
How about a drink of ENSURE it comes in
vanilla, strawberry and choc. flavor and it has
a lot of nutrients. I give this to my mom daily
at least one bottle and she feels better as
she does not always eat a lot of food.
Ask vet if it is ok for doggie to have it.
I wish your dog well. Let us know, prayers for
doggie and you.
you can actually try to cook potato mixed with carrot and chicken. made it into porridge (rice) and let him drink the broth. it is very nutrition. it doesnt matter if he doesnt eat the chicken. Nutrients from the potato, carrot and chicken has gone into the broth. do it everyday and i hope your pet would love the taste. normally i would let it boil on low fire until the carrot, potato and chicken are soft.
Science Diet sells a canned food that is used for both dog and cats,its called AD. It can be liquidfied and put into a IV tube if nessacary. They use it to feed animals that are recovering from tramua or surgery. See if your Vet can find this for you. I agree with everyone else. find another vet and get your pets medical records, Good luck.I lost my yukon 2 years ago due to posion.Huskys Rule!
I'm so sorry to hear about your baby! My inlaws' dog had a bad reaction from knee surgery and can now only have liquids. Theirs is a lifelong thing - I sicerely hope yours is not. They have to put all of his food in a blender. It consists of the AD food previously mentioned along with rice, boiled chicken, and water.
I believe the high calorie stuff in a tube previously mentioned is called NutriCal or VitaCal or something like that. I had to give it my cat when she had lost more than half her body wieght from an overactive thyroid. We got it from the vet, but I did see it in the Dr. Foster's catalog a few years ago. "It's kind of sweet, high in calories, and they love the taste. Good luck!

I agree with the folks who say find another vet. Not that your vet is bad, but another vet may have different training and experiences and be better able to figure out what's going on in this particular case. Since she's not eating and losing weight, I would go promptly to another vet or pet ER. In the meantime, be sure she his getting plenty of water.
My Dog is coughing or hacking and has a clear or sometimes foaming vomit. Are there any home remedies out there?
Jeff from Lubbock, TX
You need to find out what is causing this to happen. It could be a virus, bacteria, etc., you need to find out what causes it in order to treat it. It could be something simple or something life threatening, best to check it out at the vet.
Clear, foamy vomit (like a frothy egg) usually is an indicator of colitis. A viral or bacterial cough, however, could also cause vomiting.
If coughing/vomiting continues beyond 24 hours and/or if you notice a runny stool, take your dog to the vet.
In the meantime, put your dog on a very bland diet, consisting of cooked rice and a tablespoon of yogurt (small portions, 3-4 times a day)
I do recommend you at least call the vet, however. A phone call is free.
Your dog could just have a tonsillitis. Does it scoot his hiney on the carpet?
I would say take your dog to the vet.
This happened to my dog years ago and my dog was poisoned by hunters.
My dog had foamy vomit too.
My dog had a serious bowel obstruction (twist) which can be fatal
I suggest calling the vet at the very least
I just got a puppy a few days ago took her to the vet and found out she has kennel cough.Get your dog to the vet now!(my puppy was doing the exact same thing)
If this is an ongoing thing he has to go to the vet! If its only rarely or once in a while, try a teaspoon of cooking or olive oil. Could be he's choking on a piece of his rawhide chew?
In any case, that you have to ask, ask a Vet. The first call may be the last.
Sounds like kennel cough; he coughs until he gags and then vomits. Take him to the vet. He probably needs antibiotics, sometimes cough syrup can help, but check with the vet before giving him anything.
My puppy did the same thing. I took the rawhide away and haven't had any problems
hey people, thanks for the comments... most were from people that I would call overly worried. "omg, go to the vetttttt! Well in my opinion vets suck ! 99% of them are just about the money and they tell you more things are wrong with your pet than there really is. I know there are times when vets are needed but thats not what were talking about here. Heres what I did, I read post from this site, and tried one that sounded good that made sense. It worked wonderfully. Dogs are doing great and there as happy as ever. What did I do? you ask! I gave my dogs 1 vitamin c 500mg 1 garlic 500mg and 1 enchinacea 125mg... thats it. one time by the next morning they were not hacking or votiming at all. saved me a 100bucks just from a office visit right there! not to mention shot fees or other fees they would of had. So the next time I need a vet, Ill look online first! Thank you
Our little chihuahua contacted Parvo in a pet clothes shop. The dear Lord spared him, but now he has a lot of trouble with nausea and vomiting. Is there some way to treat this? He is not dehydrating, and seems healthy other than his wimpy stomach. I'm looking for suggestions.
Have you tried feeding him plain cooked rice? It helps to settle the stomach some, it's very inexpensive, and he should be able to keep it down. You can also use pepto bismol/kayopectate, not fun trying to get dogs to take, or Tums/calcium carbonate (I use the white peppermint ones) put on a cracker or you can pill them too. I've used both on dogs, both are safe for dogs to use, and I've gotten decent results from both. Tums also provides a little calcium.

My dog lately has been going off and getting into other peoples garbage. When she returns she vomits up some food she has ingested. To curb this problem we no longer allow her outside unless we are with her. She is 9 years old and until recently she would never leave our yard. The problem now is that she is intermittently vomiting up bile. It does not happen everyday.
My dog was throwing up and now he does not want to eat. What can I do?
Dennis from Bronx, NY
Dennis, this type of problem can turn so serious so quickly, I suggest calling your vet right away. There are many different things that might be causing it, but guessing wrong could endanger your dog's life. If you don't have the money, beg or borrow enough to get him to the vet ASAP. Good luck, and keep us posted on his recovery.
This just happened to us recently. Our dog ate cat poop and some of the litter got stuck. They did some tests, put her on antibiotics and fluids. Yes, it was about $600, but worth it! If you have to, just have them do an xray to see if there is pancritis or a blockage, then decide what to do from there. That was only about $100.
Take your pet to the vet! It could be something serious! If you really love your pet, you don't want them sick and suffering, GO TO THE VET ASAP! :)
Take your dog to the veterinarian. Could be very serious!
I have a black pug. From time to time she vomits her food. Not often. Is there anything out there my pug can eat that won't upset here already upset stomach.
Your dog may have a food allergy. Your best bet is to contact your vet and make an appt to get your dog checked out.
Hi Jane- I've referred to this website from time to time and it's helped. Hopefully it will help you out as well. www.vetinfo4dogs.com/
Have you tried changing the food at all? If your pug is getting older, her stomach might be more sensitive than it once was... Hope this helps!
try tinned rice pudding. It must be tinned - home made doesn't seem to work!
We have a Pekingese with the same problem. We have found that Chicken flavor Pounce hairball treats help greatly. He has stopped vomiting as long as I remember to feed them to him.
Hope that helps
My dog is not feeling himself. He is vomiting, has a lack of energy, and is not eating much. What can I do for him? Also his poo is dry.
