My dog made choking sounds and threw up white foam. What to do?

Question

Was watching tv and noticed my dog making a sound that sounded like she was gonna throw up/choking. So I got her outside. My dog threw up twice once looked like white foam the second time like yellow mucus. The picture doesn’t show the consistency very well but I’m worried.

Poor Missy! This vomiting could be due to a GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or pancreatitis. 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.
