    Does your dog eat canned food?? I ask this because I have a Chihuahua and experienced this exact same problem everyday he would throw up yellow foamy stuff... I discovered his food wouldn't sit on his stomach because of the cans his food was coming from. From then on I began scooping his food out of the can and into a bowl after opening the can. The vomit stopped immediately. I thought it couldn't be the food because I had fed him from the can for a long time but as soon as I stopped he stopped throwing up. I hope this helped a bit and if not it may be best to see a vet.

    that's what my dog does the yellow stuff could be stomach acid and the white stuff could be phlegm or spit well we found out my dog has a pancreas problem and he can't have any kind of beef and that he shouldn't eat any human food really at all so when ever my dog some how gets a hold of human food he throws up it's sad so just keep him away from human food because he could have a pancreas problem besides that my dog is also very healthy and energetic and i don't think shots help this because my dog still does it and he has all his shots

    Please get her shots asap. That is VERY important for puppies. Next you may not have to worry too much about the vomiting but should ask your vet when you get the shots. Granted, my dog is big and grown but he has been to a few vets for the yellow sour smelling vomit. They all said that he just gets stressed easily (which I know is common in the lil tiny dogs) he stress upsets his stomach and BLAH. With a puppy, they get into things, some get a little overwhelmed by new things they encounter. I imagine new things are magnified for such a small dog

    My 5 year old Chi has been doing this since we got him. He has terrible allergies and if he doesn't get his allergy pill he ends up vomitting all over our floor that yucky yellow stuff. It's because he gets too much drainage from his nose that upsets his stomach. He is always happy and never seems to be in too much pain. I would take her to the vet just to make sure.

    Yellow fluid may be bile, which is fairly common for dogs to throw up. Usually it means that the dog has eaten something abnormal...over the years, my 11-year-old dog has eaten nearly every form of garbage she could get her mouth on :) If the dog is otherwise fine; by this, I mean still eating, drinking, and passing stool, I wouldn't worry about it, as it will likely pass. If, however, your dog stops any of these, or becomes lethargic, you should consult your vet.

    Alot of times this is normal if your dog eats and plays a lot right after. Or eats too fast. Many dogs do this. If it is repetitive though take her to the vet to make sure it is not something serious.

    My cat does this if he eats to many cat treats, or something he shouldn't eat like string. He will throw up yellowish white nasty stuff then be fine. But if your still concerned call the vet i'm sure they'll help.

    Stupid puppy syndrome. You'll probably never know what she ate, but I'm pretty certain that's what is going on. I can't tell you how many times I've taken my puppies to the vet to find out many $$$$ later that's all it was. Just be sure to keep her hydrated. And get her parvo shots up-to-date ASAP!!!
