My dog keeps vomiting yellow liquid and is very tired. What to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 9 years and 2 months old | 8.5 lbs

My dog has been vomiting yellow liquid and a very slight white foam. He has vomited at least seven times within the past 24 hours. He also tends to walk around the house like he is about to vomit but cannot. Moreover, he seems to be very tired I assume this is because of the vomiting. The only thing I am feeding him is plain chicken broth which I made myself with chicken and water along side plain rice that has been boiled with water. What do you suggest I do?

It sounds as Dexter is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
