Has anyone else had a dog vomit and it contained foam? Should I be concerned? ...... edit: ok so I read now the "unsuccessful" vomiting is a sign...but geez...the foam thing threw me off! " Good, I was just going to mention the "unproductive retching" thing. It doesn't mean that small yellow bile vomiting that some of us see from a dog with a very empty stomach, perhaps early in the a.m. (virtually always unaccompanied by other symptoms of any kind) , and it doesn't mean actual vomitus that may contain some foamy material. It means either nothing coming up (just retching) or nothing but a slimy saliva substance.

If I have a gassy dog, I don't hesitate to give them some. I worry most about my Grace (history of digestive trouble, can be anxious, deep chested, and now almost 10 yo).

Took me a while to find this part of the forum as I never have time but to glance at the general up top. I would have to gather than that one meal a day is not the cause of bloat. But it might be better feeding twice a day... For Zuki she won't eat but once a day and she doesn't eat much.

Where can you buy it? My dog is large, lean and deep-chested: I am so glad to have watched the video and read the article in this thread -- one day, Lenney's life might depend on it. Thanks!
