My pet is bloated, throws up foamy saliva several times a day then starts barking and running around after throwing up and calms down after a few minutes. What could be wrong?

It sounds as Lebron is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
