    Hi, everyone! Sorry if I am not meant to post one problem in two threads, please let me know if I am not meant to. I'm really stressed as my 6-month lab has just vomited light brown, transparent liquid (like basically water) with some foam at the top. He vomited at about 5am (it's around 6:30am now) and he's actually fine now. He has no swollen or painful abdominal swelling, he can drink water/ eat just fine, and he's the same running around and playing. In the past week he has picked up a habit of eating his own poo often which I am trying to train out of him.

    What should I do?

    Update: It turns out that my pup had eaten something on his walk yesterday and my family member had tried to take it out but he swallowed it. He said that it was very very small, but he didn't know what it was. Should I wait to see if he vomits again?

    Sounds like he ate something that upset his tummy, has brought it back up and is now back to normal
    Pretty typical of Lab puppies. Unless he had further issues I wouldn't worry

    Hi Pups can often be sick for random reasons. Always just keep an eye and they generally bounce back quickly. You will know if they don’t, and then it’s time to call a vet. You will get used to it :)

    Thank you! Turns out he had eaten a big nut during his walk, it had finally come out when he vomited.

    Spend time teaching leave it/drop it. If you try to get it out the instinct is to swallow.
