It likely ate something that upset its stomach, or it could have another painful condition (such as a urinary tract infection) that is causing it to become upset enough to vomit. Take it to the vet to see what is wrong and to get the proper treatment for it.

There are several possible causes, but the "hard stomach" makes a twisted stomach (aka, bloat) sound likely. This is a life-threatening emergency for a dog, and it needs to see your Vet, or any available Vet, ASAP.

Your dog threw up white foam after eating a pork chop bone?

White and yellow foam or liquid is bile from the dogs stomach. This indicates that they have usually swalled something unpleasant that is causing the upset. The bone was probably not crunched down enough and the stomach is working hard to digest it. It would be better if the object causing the vomiting could come out in the vomit as the only alternative is for it to pass through the rear end. An undigested bone can be very painful as it makes its long journey out!

Can you laugh so hard you vomit feces?

No, it is physically impossible to laugh so hard you vomit out your spinal cord. The spinal cord is responsible for helping you stand upright and connecting the nerves to the other part of the body. Plus, what you vomit out only comes from what is in your stomach. Since the Spinal Cord is not in your stomach, but rather behind your stomach, you cannot vomit out your spinal cord.


Can you laugh so hard you vomit out your small intestines?

Why can severe vomiting tear the mucosa?

Simple--vomiting increases abdominal pressure and causes a sheering force as vomit pushes against sphincters that typically prevent backflow from the stomach into the esophagus. The stomach is a powerful muscle when aggravated (like by a toxin) and it will contract hard until it expels the problem material.
