Why is my puppy throwing up after chewing her memory foam bed?

Question

My puppy willow has been chewing on the her memory foam crate pad and then waking up and throwing up in the morning? Is it the pad that is causing her to throw up or possibly her eating plants and such? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 5 months and 27 days old | 45 lbs

She may be ingesting pieces of the pad...which would not be good as it could cause an obstruction. Throwing up can have many causes such as a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food oversensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast Willow for 12 hours and then put the dog on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
