It sounds like your dog is experiencing some digestive discomfort, possibly due to an upset stomach or eating his treats too quickly. Yellow foam in vomit is often associated with bile, indicating that your dog's stomach might have been empty or slightly irritated.
- Monitor your dog's behavior and appetite closely.
- Consider withholding food for 12 hours, afterward offering a bland diet.
- If vomiting persists or other symptoms arise, consult a vet.
Vomiting can have several causes, ranging from mild stomach upset to ingesting something harmful. If your dog seems otherwise healthy and active, it might be a temporary issue. However, if the vomiting continues or your dog shows signs of distress, such as lethargy or diarrhea, it might be more serious. Providing small amounts of water and bland food can be helpful, but consult a vet if you're concerned.
