Why is my dog throwing up yellow foam and had muscle spasms?

Question

My dog a few days ago was having weird muscle spasm.. we planned to bring her to the vet but she seemed to be better... so about a day and a half later she threw up her food she ate.. we really thought nothing of it but now a day later she threw up this yellow foam and we don't know what to do! Can u tell me what may be the cause of my dogs actions? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 16 lbs

Khloe could be vomiting due to a GI illness, eating something rotten, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I will give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps with her vomiting before having to take her into the vet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. As for the muscle spasms, it's good that they've since stopped. Sometimes dogs muscles can twitch randomly, as it happens in humans, but it could be due to an injury, weakness, pain, hypoglycemia, or toxin exposure. If these tremors start again, I would have Khloe seen by a vet.
