| Started Throwing Up Earlier Today Long time viewer, first time poster here. This morning around 4:30, I woke up to my 11 month old throwing up. It was a white foam with some pieces of something in it. Then, for the next hour or so, he was throwing up just this white foam about a dozen times. He then stopped for a while. Decided to cook up some chicken and rice for him, he took a bite or two of it and immediately spit it back up. Since then, he has been throwing up occasionally, but now it's yellow greenish. No more white foam. Shortly ago, I let him outside, he seemed to be better as he was rolling around in the grass, which he apparently ate a few blades because after he came back in, he threw it all up. Since today is Sunday, our vet is closed. I'm wondering if this is something that he can get through on his own until at least tomorrow morning or if I need to call around to another vet. Another thing I worry about is that he hasn't lapped up any water all day despite all of this. Are there any tricks to get him to try and drink some water? |

| This very well could be pancreatitis and these pups can go bad quickly. Vomiting that many times is something that should not wait until tomorrow. You really should find an emergency clinic in your area asap! Please keep us posted.

| When Zoey throws up white foam I take her immediately to the vet. She has had pancreatitis twice and it is very hard on her. Take your little one to the ER vet ASAP. This can not wait until tomorrow.

| I would be at the ER vet already. I had to do just that about a month ago. If he is small, he won't have much in the way of reserves and if probably already dehydrated and need some subQ fluids. ETA: My girl is not small, she is 16 lbs, and she already needed fluids. A smaller one could be in worse shape.

| I agree with the others. Your baby needs to be seen. I too have had the same experience and dehydration is a major concern. Please update and let us know.
