Thank you. Emzie

Answer
Hi Emma-

How often is he vomiting? Is it right after he plays? Or eats? Is he pretty active most of the time? When you say you changed his food to chicken and rice, do you mean a chicken and rice formula of dog food (if so, what brand name) or do you mean cooked chicken and rice you make yourself?

Vomiting bile (that yellow slimy foam) once every couple of days is usually not something to worry about, it can mean the dog is playing really hard or drinking too much, or it could mean something medical. A little more information in a follow-up would really help me help you! Thanks!
