Green vomiting in dogs can indeed be concerning, as it often relates to bile, which is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When a dog vomits bile, it can indicate several potential issues, including gastrointestinal upset, dietary indiscretion, or more serious conditions like liver disease or pancreatitis. Given that your Maltese is also experiencing diarrhea, it's important to consider the overall health and any underlying conditions.

There are a few possible causes and steps you can take at home to help your dog:

Firstly, dietary causes can sometimes be the culprit. A change in diet or eating something unusual can lead to vomiting and diarrhea. Make sure your dog has access to fresh water and consider feeding a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, for a few days to see if symptoms improve.

Hydration is also crucial. Diarrhea and vomiting can lead to dehydration, so ensure your dog is drinking enough water. You might also consider offering an electrolyte solution designed for pets to help maintain hydration levels.

It's important to monitor for other symptoms as well. Keep an eye on your dog for any additional signs such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or changes in behavior. These could indicate a more serious issue.

Rest is another key factor. Ensure your dog gets plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities until they are feeling better.

Given your dog's history of heart issues, it's particularly important to monitor their condition closely. Heart conditions can sometimes complicate other health issues, so if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult with your veterinarian to rule out any serious underlying conditions.
