My dog threw up a toy, now yellow foam. Is his stomach irritated?

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 22 days old | 61 lbs

Taz threw up a toy Monday morning. We thought he long digested it, but apparently it must've been in his stomach for 3 months. It's a plush toy with a squeaker inside. The whole thing came back intact. We couldn't believe it. He has had absolutely no signs of discomfort. He's been eating and drinking and going to the bathroom just fine. But now in the morning, he is throwing up yellow foam with no other symptoms. He is seeing the vet friday. Is it connected to the toy still? Maybe after effects?

I would certainly be concerned that the toy is related. Part of the toy may still be in his stomach, or it's possible that he ate something else. His stomach may still be irritated for a day but if he continues to vomit or has a decrease in appetite I would recommend calling your vet to see if Taz needs to be seen sooner.
