Dog vomit triage
Dog vomiting yellow foam: what to check
Yellow foam can be bile, but the pattern matters more than the colour alone. A single episode in an otherwise bright dog is different from repeated vomiting, low energy, or trouble keeping water down.
What to check now
- Count how many times your dog vomited and whether anything changed after food or water.
- Check whether your dog can keep small amounts of water down.
- Look for blood, coffee-ground material, foreign material, bloating, or unproductive retching.
Dog vomit red flags
- Emergency vet now if your dog is trying to vomit without bringing anything up.
- Emergency vet now for bloating, collapse, severe weakness, or breathing trouble.
- Contact a vet urgently if vomiting repeats or your dog cannot keep water down.
