Bandit's sick

Poor boy. My Bandit has been sick now for about 5 days. He'll go and eat grass then be sick. Bright yellow and foamy (sorry) What do you think it is. He has his dinner at 5pm every night and is drinking. I wouldn't say he is ill. Any suggestions as to what it can be?

Poor Bandit.

You know I feel the same as Emma, I think mine have done this in the past but cant remember what it was or how long it lasted. One thing I know for sure it wasnt as long as five days. Every now & then they eat grass if they have an upset stomach but usually only for a day before it passes.

Poor love, if it continues I would take him to the vets just to be on the safe side. On the up side it is a good sign he is eating & drinking okay

Let us know how he goes.

You may want to split his meals into 2 a day. Apparently dogs can produce a foamy bile when they aren't being fed frequently enough. Some dogs do well on 1x a day, some don't. Mine don't.

Gibson was throwing up every single day until I found this out. When I split his food and fed him smaller meals, more often, the foamy vomitting stopped.

If you're not sure what's going on, a trip to the vet won't hurt.
