Why is my dog frequently vomiting after meals, stomach bloated?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

The dog is vomiting frequently especially after the meal. Sometimes it vomit thick/foamy saliva. Having usual meals without any issue and drool also fine. Consulted vet and they given some injections but still no progress. Also the stomach seems to be bloated. I'm also attaching the medication provided by vet. Please advise. Thanks

Throwing up can have many causes such as a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc. Eating too much food too fast is another reason. I would fast Rambo for 24 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 vomiting or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see your veterinarian for a recheck.
