My dog threw up white foamy vomit last night. What does this mean? Thanks!

I am sorry to hear about Chloe! Vomiting can occur for a multitude of reasons. These can range from things like eating a new dog food or table scraps, to ingestion of a foreign object like a sock or toy causing obstruction, to gastritis or stomach ulcers, infections, systemic disease, and more. If Chloe just vomited one time and seems back to normal now, I would not be too concerned and would just monitor her for the next 24 hours. If however she is still vomiting, if she seems weak, if she seems painful in the abdomen, if there is blood in the vomit, or if she stops eating she should be examined by her vet.

Dr. Heidi DVM, CVA, CCRT, CVTP, CVSMT, CVCH Veterinarian, Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist, Certified Canine Rehabilitation PractitionerThere isn't any one particular reason that a dog will vomit white foamy material. If there isn't any food in the stomach, but the dog is nauseated, then they may vomit white foam or yellow bile. If Chloe continues to vomit, does not want to eat or does not seem to feel well, then I would certainly have your veterinarian examine her to see if they can determine the problem and to give her anti-nausea medication.
