If Oscar is still vomiting after medication then this would concern me quite a bit. He may have an intestinal obstruction, stomach ulcer or infection (parvovirus if he is not yet vaccinated). The reddish foam is most likely blood caused by irritation to the esophagus from constant vomiting. I would highly recommend getting Oscar back to the vet for further testing to determine the underlying cause and get him treated right away! Poor puppy, hopefully he recovers soon with appropriate treatment. He may need to go home with medications, instead of just receiving injections at the vet to help him recover. For now I would recommend only giving Oscar a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese until you can get him in to the vet for a follow-up.
