My dog is vomiting pink foam. Is it poison or something else serious?

Question

Dappie is vomiting a reddish/pinkish foam. She didn't have anything red to eat and also didn't have any bones to my knowledge (I don't like giving my dogs bones, I know it's dangerous). They go for walks in our front yard, it doesn't have a fence around it. It is possible for her to have eaten something there, but I can't be sure. I gave her coconut oil (to make everything smooth), could it be poison? What else could it be? She wags her tail, she doesn't drink or eat, she's not happy.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm so sorry to hear about Dapple! I am concerned about a few possibilities: toxin - I am not familiar with the plants and animals native to South Africa but we have a few in the states that can do this parasites- a worm burden in the stomach or small intestine can cause this bleeding disorder - certain tick borne illnesses can cause bleeding ingestion of an acid or caustic agent, heat stroke, bleeding ulcer, electric shock, and cancer of the stomach or intestines can all ado this. I would recommend seeing the vet as soon as possible. He or she may recommend bloodwork and/or medications to stop the vomiting and ease nausea. Best wishes to you and Dapple.
