When a dog experiences white and foamy vomiting multiple times a day, it can indeed be concerning, as it often points to an issue with the stomach or digestive tract. Coupled with weight loss and a loss of appetite over the past five days, it suggests that this might be more than just a minor upset stomach.

There are several potential causes for these symptoms. They could range from gastritis or the ingestion of a foreign object to more serious conditions like pancreatitis. Since your dog is a young puppy, it's also crucial to consider the possibility of parasites or infections, especially if her vaccinations and preventatives are not current.

At home, you might try withholding food for 12 to 24 hours to allow her stomach to rest, but ensure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. After this fasting period, you can gradually reintroduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, served in small, frequent meals. Keep a close eye on her for any changes in behavior or symptoms.

Given the persistence and combination of these symptoms, I strongly recommend that you seek veterinary care as soon as possible. A veterinarian will be able to perform the necessary tests to identify the underlying cause and provide the appropriate treatment.

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