I am very sorry to hear that Flexx is experiencing these problems, I am sure it is very unsettling for you both. There are a number of potential causes of such clinical signs, including dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, parasite infestation, infection, and ingestion of a toxin or poison. Because you have only noticed these signs over the course of a few hours I would continue to monitor Flexx at home. The foamy clear vomit you may have noticed is most likely the final contents of Flexx's now empty stomach; bile and stomach acids. It's not anything to be worried about. Rest Flexx's gastrointestinal tract by holding back food for a few hours. Then you can continue with a bland and easily digested food of the boiled chicken breast and white rice diet and provide plenty of fresh water. If Flexx does not improve, has profuse vomiting or diarrhoea, you notice fresh blood, Fkexx seems lethargic, in pain or depressed I would advise a trip to the veterinarian. I hope that answer was helpful and more importantly that Flexx feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
