My two-month-old Golden Retriever vomited white foam first thing in the morning, had dry heaves last night, no stool, no eating, just lies down whining, temperature normal.
Foaming vomit in dogs has many causes: food poisoning, poor diet, gut disease, parvovirus, distemper. An unvaccinated dog with foam vomit, no eating, and low spirits should be tested for parvo, distemper, or coronavirus. Non-viral causes may be gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites; treat the cause. Dehydration is risky, so seek IV care.
My Teddy has enteritis. What should I do?
Enteritis is not the only cause of gut signs; rule out toxins, virus, bacteria, parasites, blockage and pancreatitis at a vet first. Acute and chronic forms need targeted care.
My dog will not eat kibble, only meat, is lethargic and has vomited many times. What medicine and what do I do?
Vomiting with lethargy can be overeating, blockage, parasites or parvo. Do not blind-medicate; try vet symptomatic care and see a vet if no improvement.

My dog is listless, vomiting yellow foam, has foul diarrhea, and feels cold—could bad guts kill it?

Can Dogs Eat Salt? How Much Is Safe
Dogs do need salt (sodium) for normal metabolism and electrolyte balance, and a long-term deficiency causes dry, split fur and hair loss. The real risk is excess: too much salt over time burdens the kidneys and heart and can cause salt poisoning, so a balanced diet plus about 1% added salt in home-cooked meals is enough.
A Dog’s Nutritional Needs
Dogs need protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water. Animal protein should lead the diet; fat and carbs are low-need (excess carbs cause diarrhea), and fiber must be limited. Aim for high-protein, low-carb, low-fiber food with lean meat.
What happens if a dog eats oil and salt?
Dogs eating oil and salt can cause various health problems. Too much oil may lead to pancreatitis, diarrhea, and vomiting; some oils like coconut oil contain harmful saturated fats. Excess salt can cause shedding, dehydration, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Dogs are sensitive to salt, so even moderate amounts can harm them.
