Why is my dog throwing up foamy vomit and not eating after rawhide?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rat Terrier | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

Woodstock has been throwing up and his tummy is making noise. I had him on benadryl, which I had started a few days ago. I stopped the benadryl so he stopped throwing up until today. He eats rawhide chew bones. He's throw up is foamy sometimes and clear with a slight brown in it. There has not been any food in the vomit whether it's foamy or clear. He's not eating his food but he ate a scrambled egg.

The rawhide chew bones could certainly be causing Woodstock's problems. 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.
