I'm sorry to hear that Kodak is experiencing these issues. Vomiting white and foamy material, along with a puffy snout, could be indicative of several things, such as an allergic reaction, ingestion of something irritating, or even an infection.

Let's explore a few possibilities:

Firstly, the puffiness in Kodak's snout might be due to an allergic reaction. This can occur from insect bites, certain foods, or environmental allergens. If this is the case, you might also notice other symptoms like itching or hives.

Another possibility is that Kodak may have ingested something irritating. If he has eaten something he shouldn't have, it could lead to vomiting. It would be a good idea to check for any potential toxins or foreign objects he might have accessed.

Additionally, infections or inflammation can sometimes cause swelling and vomiting. Keep an eye on any changes in his behavior or additional symptoms that may develop.

In the meantime, ensure that Kodak has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration from vomiting. You might consider withholding food for a short period to see if the vomiting subsides, and then gradually reintroduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice.

Given the symptoms and their persistence, I strongly recommend consulting a veterinarian. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, checking for any underlying issues that may need attention.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
