When a dog has rabies they FOAM FROM THE MOUTH, not vomit! Your dog may be on a diet it's digestive system can't handle or, there could be a problem in the digestive system. Many dogs (like cats) will eat grass when they aren't feeling well and will vomit either yellow acidic or white foam. In this case it's best to let your vet take a look at your pet to be sure it doesn't have a twisted bowel or some other digestive problems.

Good luck!

He most likely has something small (maybe even tiny) stuck in his throat. That white foam is mostly just saliva, and the gagging is all he can do to try to clear the irritant. (Dogs lack the physical mechanism to "clear their throat" the way people do.)

The most common cause of this are blades of grass or something similar, which can cling to the inner lining of their throat. It may seem a bit alarming, but it's normal and harmless unlessit goes on for an extended period of time. If that's the case, you should contact a vet.

you should REALLY take it to the vet because it sounds like it has rabies. and it will need to be checked and given shots.

i know this because i am a I work for a vet and open the dogs mouth and check to see if anything is lodged in its mouth or throat, dogs will get things lodged up between there teeth occasionally- sticks, bones- but like the vet says take it to the doc, it wouldn't hurt to look in the dogs mouth because those can be signs of something stuck and choking.
