My French bulldog is throwing up and uncomfortable. What's happening?

Question

My French bulldog has thrown up a large amount 5 times., decreasing amount each time he vomits. At first The vomit was thick but brown and smooth, almost creamy at first. Now it is white and like very thick foam. He is panting, but not very heavy. He is preferring to lay on the cold tile. There is no blood in his vomit or stool, and nothing foreign in the vomit. He seems very uncomfortable laying on the furniture, but doesn't mind the floor. I have pressed His abdomen and it didn't bother him. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | neutered | 2 years and 8 months old | 23 lbs

The vomiting you described sounds normal. Vomit only contains what is in the stomach at the time, so as the vomiting continues there will be less and less available, hence the color changes. First, I would look around the house and yard to see if there is anything that you can find that Cooper may have gotten into or eaten. Look carefully at plants, small things, destroyed things, or missing contents of a trash can. If you don't find anything, then I would remove all food for 12 hours, but encourage him to drink water or pedialyte. If the vomiting continues in a few hours, I would recommend that Cooper be evaluated by an emergency vet to see what could be going on. At the very least, he could get an anti-nausea shot that will help him get some rest tonight. If the vomiting starts again after he eats, if he has a poor appetite, or if he starts having diarrhea, the Cooper should get checked out by a vet tomorrow.
