Why is my dog vomiting white foam and refusing to eat or drink?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 5 months and 17 days old

My dog vomit yesterday in the evening, he ate yesterday at 8pm just a little bit then he vomit again today at 3 am bust just white foam and since 8pm from yesterday he doesn’t want to eat. We try chicken and rice but it’s not working. He is not interested in food. His behavior is normal. Right now he is playing with Ice because he doesn’t even want water so we gave him ice.

Any continued abnormal symptoms (longer than 24 hours) warrants a vet exam. I cannot tell you what is wrong with him just by your description as those symptoms are very vague. Vomiting and not wanting to eat can be from almost anything. Common things in puppies that can cause this are: * intestinal parasites (worms) * intestinal obstruction * parvovirus * pancreatitis I suggest you get him examined by your vet as soon as you can.
