My dog threw up a toy, now yellow foam. Is his stomach irritated?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As you point out, this could be due to an upset stomach. Of course the concern would be a gastrointestinal obstruction from her eating pieces of her toy. At this point, if she has only vomited once, you may continue to monitor her closely to see if it is only going to be an isolated episode. Watch closely for signs associated with an obstruction such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia and abdominal pain. If observed, have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment at that point. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting and inappetence can occur from many conditions such as foreign body ingestion and obstruction, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. I am concerned that he could be showing signs of an obstruction which is something that requires therapy which sometimes includes surgery. I recommend that you have Jager evaluated by a veterinarian at this point for further assessment and treatment. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start him on medications to make him feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good night!

Hello. Vomiting can be caused by many causes including something stuck (especially if he ate a stuffed toy), a sore belly/gastritis, pancreatitis, or metabolic causes. If he is bright and happy otherwise, you can try boiled rice and boiled/boneless/skinless chicken breasts, in small frequent meals for a couple days. This will treat a simple gastritis. If the vomiting continues or he can't keep any food down, or he is lethargic or tired, he needs veterinary attention right away. Good luck with Cody.

I hate to hear Liam is giving you a scare! The vomiting can be highly variable based upon where it is in the GI tract. Blockages in the stomach tend to result in vomiting very quickly after eating. The intestines are pretty long (like 26 feet) and so the further down it goes, the more delayed things can be. I advise to be worried about any vomiting, no matter how far after eating it occurs. Make sure to keep you vet up to date as they may want to see him again. Also watch for lethargy and decreased appetite-also let your vet known if this is seen. Hopefully he'll be fine! I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions

I'm sorry to hear that Panda isn't feeling well. It is difficult to determine if his diarrhea is related to Rimadyl, ingestion of the rubber toy or stick, parasites, a virus, or other issue. Given all of these possibilities and the fact that his abdomen is tight and he has been straining for a bowel movement, I do recommend taking Panda to to his vet for evaluation. The vet will be able to perform an exam to palpate his abdomen and may recommend abdominal x-rays. Try to withhold food for the next 12-24 hours. If his vet appointment is more than 24 hours away, you can also begin to feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice for a few days before gradually transitioning him back to his normal diet over another 5-7 days. I hope this helps and that Panda feels better soon!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be observed with conditions such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. For this reason, I highly recommend that you have Diesel evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid he is likely becoming dehydrated. They would be able to check for these possibilities and also check his hydration status and give him medications to make him feel better. Good luck!

It looks as though Troy ingested foreign material. If he is still sick and not feeling well, I would get him examined by a veterinarian and have abdominal x-rays taken to rule out an intestinal obstruction as the cause of the symptoms. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
