My dog eats everything, coughing, gagging, puking white foam.

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 72 lbs

My dog is coughing/gagging and occasionally puking white foam. He is not lethargic, lacking in appetite, or having diarrhea/constipation. He is an indiscriminate eater. What is wrong with him?

If Mack has a habit of eating things that are not food, that could be causing the coughing, gagging, and vomiting. He may have eaten something that has upset his stomach. I do think he needs to see a vet for this, and I think it would be best if you take him into the vet first thing in the morning. X-rays are a good idea to see if there is anything in his stomach that could be causing this. I hope this helps!
