My puppy keeps vomiting foam after vet visit and vaccinations.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 2 months and 4 days old | 11 lbs

My dog is a 9 week old pit bull puppy who we just took to the veterinarian today for his first check up. He was examined by the vet and then vomited during the examination. The vet said he was not worried and that it was likely due to his abdominal palpation. He then received his DA2PP vaccine and an oral worm medication. We took him home and since then he has vomited about 10x to the point where only a small amount of foam is produced.

This is definitely not normal and not likely to be due to the abdominal palpation, you need to take him back to the vet as soon as you can in order to get it treated, it could be a gastrointestinal infection or a foreign body ingestion, he will need an anti vomiting injection at the very least.
