    3 month old shih throwing up white foam
    My 3 month old shih tzu puupy was throwing up white foam. He threw up several times. He ate some food and water and since has been playing around. I noticed he was eating something off the road when I took him for his afternoon walk today. He has one last shot left.

    Its probably not actual foam. Its probably saliva or he is regurgitating...

    If he continues or it gets worse, take him to the vet. In fact, you should take him in anyway for this problem. It could be minor, it could be something major such as esophagus ulcers or erosion from the gunk the state puts on the road to prevent ice formation.

    Thanks a lot for that.
    He threw up the food he had eaten as well but has not been acting lethargic or sick at all. I will wait till the morning to take him to my regular vet. I was wondering if I should take him to the emergency but since he as been playing around I guess it will be fine if I wait.

    Just keep a close eye on him. If he starts acting funny, then take him to the emergency clinic. Otherwise, he should be OK until morning.

    Don't feed him anything. Just give him water. If he has something wrong, feeding him will make it worse. If you can, keep him still so that way nothing cuts him from the inside if he happened to swallow something sharp.

    I had taken him to the vet in the morning since he vomitted several times in the night as well. The vet said pretty much the same thing and gave him an injected for nausea. He has been perfectly fine and playing since then.
