Why is my newly adopted dog vomiting clear/yellow liquid and foam?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Black Mouth Cur | Male | neutered | 55 lbs

Good evening, I recently adopted a Black Cur estimated to be about 6 years old (55 lbs. +). I don't know anything about his past diet or med. history. I only know that he was cleared from fecal worms in feb. 2021. Recently he's been vomiting what looks both clear & bright yellow liquid with either bits of food or no food; there is also quite a bit of foam, as well. He doesn't seem lethargic, & when I eat my human food; he shows much interest *can you plse tell me what may going on with him? ty!

Hi and thanks for your request about Buddy's problem. Vomiting can be caused by a variety of signs including simple inflammations due to dietary indiscretion or infections for example. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, lethargy or inappetence. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

    Poor Eve sounds sick. It could be a sudden change in diet if you are feeding a different food from what she was getting before, has a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. 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.
