I noticed a small tick on my dog 2 days ago and my dad removed it. He just started throwing up foamy white bile. What should indo? Is it related?

Typically there is a local skin reaction "bulls-eye" reddened area that forms at the site of the bite and this can lead to overall illness, including fever, vomiting, diarrhea. Investigate the site where the tick bit and then I would recommend taking him to your local veterinarian for a full physical examination and proper medication to help stop the allergic reaction he may be having to the tick bite itself. I would also recommend placing a Seresto collar, Adaptil collar, or giving Nexgard tablets (flea and tick preventative) to prevent future tick bites.

It could be related, tick born diseases could cause symptoms such as fever, vomiting and joint pain. i recommend taking him to the vet and have him tested for those conditions.
