Why does my dog keep vomiting yellow fluid with white foam?
There are many causes of vomiting; if yellow fluid and foam persist with low energy and appetite, see a vet to find the cause first. Common causes include prolonged hunger (excess stomach acid and bile), swallowed indigestible objects, bacterial gastroenteritis, infectious disease like distemper or parvovirus, liver disease, food-change upset, and others like poisoning, parasites, or stomach tumors.
What happens if a dog receives too much IV fluid?
Giving a dog too much IV fluid is dangerous: rapid overhydration can cause pulmonary edema, chronic kidney failure, and high blood pressure. Glucose overload causes vomiting, appetite loss, and restlessness, while overall fluid excess can lead to electrolyte imbalance such as low sodium and low potassium, causing muscle pain and arrhythmia.
What happens if a dog drinks tea?
A few teas such as barley, honeysuckle, and dandelion tea are safe for dogs, but black, green, and pu-erh teas can poison them in excess because caffeine and theophylline stimulate the nervous and cardiovascular systems, causing rapid heartbeat, panting, thirst, diarrhea, and vomiting. Tannins can also upset the stomach, so watch for symptoms and see a vet if needed.

Dogs are meat-based omnivores; too much starch causes stomach upset, malnutrition, and high blood sugar, and excess converts to fat causing weight gain. Sticky starchy foods also worsen tartar.
Why Does Your Dog Eat Grass?
Dogs eat grass for several reasons: to ease indigestion, to fill a nutrient gap (pica from missing minerals), to expel swallowed objects, or to self-clean the stomach. Occasional grass eating is normal, but frequent pica points to a diet fix needed.
Symptoms and Treatment of Indigestion in Dogs
Dog indigestion usually comes from improper feeding. Signs include vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal pain with dehydration, and—if gastroenteritis is the cause—a fever. Treat with a 12-hour fast plus pet probiotics, feed on a regular schedule in small meals, and see a vet if it has not improved in 2–3 days.
