My dog is throwing up yellow slime and seems less active. What to do?

Question

My 10-y/o dog has been less active and has vomited a dark yellow slimy substance twice in a 24 hour period. What should I do?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor Molly! 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 her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
