My dog is throwing up pink frothy vomit. Should I take him to the vet?

It sounds as Mark is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

It is concerning that he has thrown up so many times in just a few hours. I would most certainly have him seen by a veterinarian ASAP. He may have stomach inflammation or a more serious issue like a gastrointestinal obstruction.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not necessarily. Pink foamy vomit does not signal any particular condition. In this case it may be due to his kidney disease. Keep a close eye on the vomit to make sure that there is no blood in it. Good luck and have a great day!

The color of the vomit could be caused by some blood (e.g. an injury in the esophagus) or coloring of the food he ate or severe inflammation somewhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Diarrhea and throwing up can have many causes. It is basically a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast Max for 24 hours and then put him on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to his regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or stays bloody, or if he gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.

I’m sorry to hear of this disturbing finding with Osuka this morning! If he is acting normally otherwise and has not had this type of issue previously then I would recommend monitoring him for now. If this behavior continues, if he has bleeding from other areas, if he goes off his food or is generally not acting right then I would recommend having him evaluated by your regular veterinarian.

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Echo boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.

Oh no, that's not good! It's quite serious when a dog can't even keep down water, and it can be caused by a severe GI illness, pancreatitis, a foreign body, or eating something rotten. This requires an immediate vet visit so the cause of the vomiting can be diagnosed and treated. Please take your dog into a vet now.
