It sounds like your West Highland White Terrier is experiencing a range of concerning symptoms, including vomiting that appears white and foamy, loss of appetite, sneezing, and skin issues. These symptoms could be due to various causes, such as gastrointestinal irritation, dietary indiscretion, or more serious conditions like pancreatitis or kidney disease.

The fact that the vomiting is episodic might indicate that it's triggered by specific factors, such as certain foods or changes in the environment. However, given the combination of symptoms persisting over four months and the possibility of toxic ingestion, it's important to address this situation with urgency.

I strongly recommend scheduling a visit to your veterinarian as soon as possible. A thorough examination and possibly some diagnostic tests will be necessary to identify any underlying conditions contributing to these symptoms. Early intervention is often key to effectively managing health issues, particularly in older dogs.

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