What causes a dog to throw up yellow or white foamy vomit often?

Question

My dog Elvis, Black lab, around 3 years old, has been throwing up a lot recently (multiple times a week for the past month). He used to only throw up if he ate grass or drank a lot of water too quickly. The throw up has been either yellow or white and foamy. Any idea what it is/what I should do?? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 70 lbs

Hello. There any many things that could be going on with Elvis. He ciuld have something stuck in his stomach bouncing around that is intermittently causing a blockage and vomiting. An x ray or ultrasound would gelp determine this. Elvis could also have a food allergy so trying a different good could help. Try a good quality food. He could have a problem with his pancrease( inflammation or insufficiency), blood tests would show this, or he could have a motility disorder in which biopsies would be needed. If he is otherwise bright and happy and eating, try switching his food and avoid bones, raw food or table scraps and see of that works. If not or if Elvis seems sick otherwise then get xrays and bloodwork done with your vet. Good luck with him!
