It sounds like your toy poodle is experiencing some discomfort, which can certainly be concerning. The white and foamy vomit, especially with hair in it, might suggest that he has ingested some hair, possibly from grooming himself. This can sometimes irritate the stomach, leading to vomiting. The behavior changes you're noticing, such as seeking solitude and being quieter, could be signs that he's not feeling his best.

Here are a few things you can do at home to help him feel better:

Firstly, it's important to monitor his behavior closely. Keep an eye on any additional symptoms, and if he continues to vomit or if his behavior worsens, it might be necessary to seek further advice from a veterinarian.

Ensure he has access to fresh water at all times to prevent dehydration, especially after vomiting. Hydration is crucial for his recovery.

Consider withholding food for a few hours to let his stomach settle. Once he seems more comfortable, you can reintroduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small amounts to see how he tolerates it.

Provide a comfortable and quiet space for him to rest. Sometimes, pets need a little time to recover from minor stomach upsets, and a peaceful environment can aid in their recovery.

Regular grooming can also help reduce the amount of hair he ingests, which might help prevent future episodes of vomiting.

Since the vomiting is episodic and not ongoing, and he doesn't have any other severe symptoms, monitoring him for now is a good approach. However, if you notice any worsening of symptoms, such as persistent vomiting, lethargy, or refusal to eat or drink, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian for a thorough examination.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
