My dog has diarrhea, threw up bile, and ate poop. What's wrong?

Question

My dog has had diarrhea all of all of today and last night after having a bowel movement during the night, he seems normal, except for having the diarrhea. He just threw up bile or white foam, I fed him and he seems to have perked up again. Im unsure if being in his kennel for a few hours with poop near him could have caused this or if its something else. He also had this previously when he ate poop in a yard while we were at a friends house, and we were at the same house a couple nights ago. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 10 months and 2 days old | 5 lbs

Diarrhea and vomiting are usually signs referring to a intestinal problem. It could be due to dietary indiscretion (i.e. eating something that he shouldn't!), parasitic infestation, inflammatory disease (IBD inflammatory bowel disease), bacterial diseases or viral diseases especially if Archie is not fully vaccinated (i.e.: parvovirus).  You could starve him for 4-6 hrs then provide bland food, boiled breast chicken and rice for the next 24 hrs (small and frequent meals) and monitor.  If you spot blood in the faces or if he get lethargic, not eating, or if he continues to vomit and producing diarrhea, I would suggest to have him checked by your veterinarian as soon as possible.   Good luck and post again on the forum if you need further advices. I hope my answer was helpful.
