    Provided he is bright and otherwise happy you can try resting his stomach by not giving any food for 12 - 16 hrs. He must have free access to water though during this period. If he seems unwell in himself and the vomiting doesnt abate then he should be seen by a vet

    Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks

    The dog might have eaten something that he was allergic too or perhaps he ate some rat poison or something. I'm assuming you're from the USA and I understand that you people have rabies there? Isn't foaming of the mouth a symptom of rabies? I'm not a vet. I'm just suggesting what might be wrong.
