Why is my puppy throwing up foam and coughing? Is it acid reflux?

Question

My 5 month old puppy throws up white and yellow foam, coughs as if he were choking but wasn’t. Usually this happens at night and the vomiting early in the morning. I’m really worried. Is it due to not eating enough ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 5 months old

This could very well be caused by acid reflux due to an empty stomach. Especially if Toby is otherwise acting normal and not vomiting up undigested food. I would try offering him a late night snack and ask your vet if an antacid dosage can be provided, considering his medical history. Best wishes with your puppy and I hope the vomiting resolves soon!
