Why is my dog throwing up yellow foam after possibly eating cat poop?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Male | unneutered | 40 lbs

Today our cocker spaniel Threw up a yellow foamy substance. We had been out in the cold. And walk very far I figured he was over exerted the niteb4. I'm wondering if he could have possibly gotten poisoned or if it could be from the cat poop in the ground where we recently started staying

If Droopy ate cat poop, that could be upsetting his stomach. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
