It's so very upseting to hear your puppy is foaming at the mouth. My puppy did this for several weeks. She would foam at the mouth, shake, poop, and then run quickly around the house. I took her to the vet where they treated her for 10 days with valium, and potassium bromide. She was having very scary seizures every 30 minutes or so. It was very painful to watch. I took her to several vets. They didn't give up on her nor did they know the cause. They ran several test. She was only 9 weeks old. The GOOD news is she is now 9 months old and is very normal, happy, and playful. She doesn't seem to have any damage from the seizures. I think her young age saved her because just like a small child they still have lots of growing to do. I racked my brain trying to figure out what may have caused the seizures... did I not feed her enough, did we step on her, had she been dropped, was it genetic... You may never know. She was still very sick when I brought her home from the vet. I kept her on Potassium bromide for a few more weeks. She had been through so much in the hospital that she had trust issues and wouldn't let me touch her or hold her for about 4 weeks. But we prayed alot and were very persisitant and then one day she came to us. It was AWESOME!!!!! These puppies are so small they can get hypoglycemic fast. To this day even if she eats well I give her Nutri-Cal in the morning and evening to keep her balanced. I think keeping her glucose levels in check is the key. My puppy is very healthy now. She is a miracle. I have never in my life seen something so horrific and serious as to what she went through. She taught me alot about life. Don't give up on her. She can make it through. I will keep you and your puppy in my prayers. It did take a couple of months for her to recover and even longer for her to trust but be patient the puppy will come around. This is just my experience. This is my first puppy. We love her so much she is just like a child to us. Good luck and God Bless.
