White foam may be gastric fluid or coughed-up phlegm. With abdominal cramps consider gastroenteritis from bones or meat, pancreatitis if severe, or an intestinal foreign body causing obstruction. Take the dog to a vet for diagnosis.
A four-month-old cat suddenly lost appetite and vomits yellow fluid, nine times in two days; ate a pesticide earlier and half an amoxicillin capsule. The pet hospital is closed, the cat’s nose and paw pads are pale. What do I do? Urgent!
Yellow vomit suggests gastroenteritis from diet or, if unvaccinated, possible obstruction or panleukopenia; tests include blood work, SAA, ultrasound, and a panleukopenia test. Pale nose and paws mean anemia and dehydration needing fluids; at home give glucose and anti-emetics.
My cat regurgitates the food it eats and is listless.

A thin, small stocking usually passes in 2 to 3 days, but a long one may lodge in the intestines and cause obstruction. After ingestion, give a little cooking oil to aid movement. If a long stocking is not passed in 2 to 3 days, take the dog for an X-ray.

Too many bones can cause intestinal blockage with constipation, abdominal pain, lethargy, no appetite and vomiting, usually needing surgery. Hollow brittle bones like chicken or duck easily cut the gut and cause inflammation. Hard bones also damage teeth.
