My Rottweiler is vomiting, not eating, and foaming. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 10 months old | 90 lbs

About 4-5 days ago my rottweiler Diesel started throwing up (2 days) after that he hasn’t been eating. Lost a lot of weight. He has no energy and doesn’t want to move much. He is foaming around his mouth. Today I gave him two portions of cooked brown rice with bit of chicken and he ate slowly. Drank some water. Barely got up for a walk.

Poor Diesel. He sounds pretty sick, and I'm quite concerned that he's lost a lot of weight. At this point in time, I think he needs veterinary attention now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
