My dog, Rocky, has been throwing up today. The vomit was initially yellow and liquidy, now it's white and foamy. He hasn't eaten anything unusual and seems to be playing normally despite his upset stomach. Should I take him to the vet tonight or wait until the morning?

My old dog, Sadie, a 15 1/2-year-old Chihuahua mix, is lying down and raising and lowering her head quickly to the floor while whining.
