A clear liquid vomit usually consists of saliva or water. It may or may not have some foamy parts to it. A simple explanation for vomiting clear liquid is that the dog drank too much water or drank the liquid too quickly. This is a common cause of vomiting in dogs.
If your dog is having a diarrhea attack, you should call your veterinarian right away. Your veterinarian will be able to determine if the attack is due to dehydration or an underlying medical condition. If you suspect dehydration, your vet may prescribe a diuretic (water-based medication) to help reduce the amount of fluid in the body.
They also help to flush out toxins and other waste products that may be causing the diarrhea. In some cases, a veterinarian may also prescribe an anti-diarrheal (anti-inflammatory) medication. These medications can help relieve the symptoms of dehydration and may help prevent future attacks.
