Diesel, an 11-year-old Rottweiler/Retriever mix on thyroid medication, has been vomiting out of the blue, with more liquid and foamy vomit today. He is depressed and has not had his thyroid medication due to vomiting. He has not had diarrhea and his gums are bright pink and moist, indicating he is hydrated. What could be causing his vomiting and is there anything I can do to help him, especially given our financial constraints?
