My new dog won't eat and is vomiting clear foam after neuter.

Question

New dog. He won’t eat I know he’s stressed!! however he’s throwing up clear foam now due to no eating. He’s still drinking water though. I know he’s in pain as well he just got fixed. So that plus new home and new people I thought it would be expected. But I know he needs to eat and it’s breaking my heart seeing him like this. Please help!! Pet's info: Dog | American Bulldog | Male | neutered | 40 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Baloo! Stress may make a dog not want to eat but stress or not eating doesn't make a dog vomit. Baloo is vomiting because he is sick. If he is on medications after his neuter they could be making him sick and I would call your Vet to discuss stopping them. Causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, anesthesia or medications, viral or bacterial infections, foreign body (he ate something that is stuck and requires surgery to remove), food allergy/intolerance, new treats/dog food or human food, toxin ingestion. I would only offer water in small amount and do not offer food for 12 hours. If there is no vomiting in that 12 hour period then start a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day for 3-5 days. If he continues to vomit he should be seen by a Vet for an exam, blood work and belly X-rays. I hope this helps and I wish Baloo the best!
