I have a chocolate lab, he is two, and he is always crazy energetic but a couple hours ago he started coughing and he threw up a few times. it was a white slimy liquid but he is still so energetic. I am just not sure what to do.

I would at this point just monitor Kane. If he continues to vomit or becomes lethargic then I would recommend a veterinarian. Something may have just upset his stomach. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
