Hi, I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my dog, he’s up to date with shots but since 4 this morning he’s been throwing up nonstop it was first all brown and mushy but now it’s either clear or foamy

Loki could have a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis. Given that he has been vomiting all day, the time for home remedies has passed and he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet right away.

Poor Loki! I can give you a home remedy for him 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Hi, and thanks for your question. As a first approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then 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 definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting or attempt to (even tonight), lethargy or inappetence.
