My dog vomits white slime after eating and is losing weight. Why?

Question

Male dog, 7 yes old two days after getting groomed started vomiting white slimy stuff, and has kept doing that after eating unless I make him oatmeal in small amounts. He is losing weight, but his stools are normal. And he acts normal, playful ect

Not sure how we can relate this episode with the recent visit at the groomer but generally speaking, considering what you described, that could be related to dietary indiscretion. As a first line approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
