also is he tossing and turning like he cannot get comfortable as dogs with pancreatitis are in pain. My dog had it. How much does he weigh as 5 times vomitting can be alot for a tiny dog. Diarrhea is more dehydrating though than vomitting so if you have both going on that is not good.

3 days after probably not hot dog as usually it is within a 12 -24 hr time period for it to trigger but anything is possible.

Best to restrict food for 12 hrs if you think pancreatitis. Also hold up water until vomitting stops then slowly give them some and do not let them gulp the water as gulping will make them vomit it up. I usually will give little bits at a time with my finger but only after all vomitting has stopped. You have to stop the vomitting cycle to let the tummy rest.

First they vomit food, then bile then white foam. What is he vomitting up now?
