Why is my dog not eating and vomiting white foam?
A dog that won't eat and vomits white foam may be suffering from poisoning, ingestion of a foreign object, or an infectious disease. Ingesting toxic substances irritates the digestive tract; induce vomiting with soapy water and go to the vet. Swallowing items like chicken bones or plastic bags can block the gut and cause foam vomiting, requiring X-rays and removal. Distemper and parvovirus also cause these symptoms, so prompt veterinary care is best.
