Why is my dog vomiting foul brown after eating the puppy's stool?

Question

Hello! My dog started puking earlier today. The smell was quite foul and smelled like poop. It was brown and with chunks and a mucus like texture. It also had patches of white foam throughout. He’s almost 5 now and the only recent change in his life is the addition of a puppy to the family. I’m worried he may be eating her stool. Aside from dehydration, what should I be concerned and aware of? Aside from behavioral changes and probiotics, what else does he need? Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 65 lbs

Vomiting is one of the most concerning symptoms a pet can have. It is a very non-specific symptom and can be a sign of almost any illness. I suggest you fast him for 8 hours. You can give one tablet of 10mg famotidine (Pepcid) now. After 8 hours there is no more vomiting you can start back feeding him his normal diet - 1/2 ration for about 2 feedings. And if still not vomiting you can then go back to normal. You can certainly start a probiotic gel like Ben-Bac even while he is fasting. Continue the probiotic for at least one week. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petag-bene-bac-plus-sensitive-digestion-gel-supplement-for-small-animals If he continues to vomit he really needs to see a vet. If you got a puppy and Buskin is eating the puppy's stool - he may have gotten intestinal parasites from that.
