Vomitting Bully

Question
Hello,

My10 month old bully has been vomitted 3 times in the last week. It looks like it's phlegm but it has bubbles and is not as thick. We just started to gradually switch him over to adult food but the vomit started before we did that. He's been eating normally and seems to be his usual self so I was wondering if we need to be worried and get him to the vet. I know dogs vomit on occasion so maybe he just got a hold to something outside.
What suggestion do you have!?!?  

Answer
Chances are he would benefit from palate resectioning surgery. However, a lot of this vomiting can be dealt with by raising his food and water dishes about 8" off the floor.  When you hear him sounding particularly "phlemy", give him a squirt toward the back of his throat with a squeezy lemon from the grocery store. It will cause him to salivate and loosen up the gunk in his throat so he can get rid of it.
