Yesterday my husband mistakenly left out some fast food garbage with remnants of food in it. And my Dane ate it. He ate the paper sanwiches were wrapped in and the boxes fries come in. I figured he may get sick but seriously beginning to think I may need some advice. He puked mid day today and it was orange and alot of the product came up ( the rest came out the other end) After that he has puked 3 more times and it has been a yellow liquid that was almost foamy... is this stomach acid? He has ate a bit but not much but has still been drinking water like normal....what can i do for my baby??? Someone PLEASE help me

Your dog has got a very upset stomach from this.
First: if he keeps throwing up, if there are blood in the puke or the poo, or if he gets lethargic or stops drinking - get to a vet asap!!!
But otherwise try this:
make sure there are plenty of fresh water available at all times.
let him fast today - no food at all.
Tomorrow give him rice and chickenmeat. Both need to be boiled (do not roast the chicken) to a mush...really boiled through (and no bones in the meat!)
After two or three days on chicken/rice start giving him a bit of his usual food in the mix... gradually over three or four days increase the normal food until he is back on it 100%.
Start out tomorrow with many small meals a day, gradully change to usual schedule.
Concerns: dehydration and /or loss of acid/alkalic balance from throwing up. There might be a bit of box cardboard or wrapper stuck in his gut, so look for passage of poo...If something is stuck you will see continued throwing up, stomach pain and little or no poo.
Sometimes the stomach gets so upset that antibioticas are needed (only use after a vet's prescription)
If this does not make your dog steadily better - go to the vet, better too soon than too late.
Sometimes it helps to buy a special salt/sugar mix used for humans with foodpoisoning. (ask the farmacist)
There are commercial dog food for intestial problems if you do not want to make the boiled rice/chicken meat.
The yellow foamy liquid are stomach fluids (acid, slime and gall)
I hope this helps

I would think paper goods would break up and dissolve. (My friend's dog ate a washcloth, that, of course, had to be surgically removed.) My dog has eaten so many things and survived without the doctor visit---whole pack crayons (I never found the box, so I suppose she ate it to---I didn't know til I saw colorful poop), wooden cooking spoon, plastic spatula, etc.. I have called the Vet and asked what they thought. I called an emergency all night vet's office to see if I needed to rush her in after eating a bottle of supplements. I ended up making her vomit, and she didn't go to the office. Yours is already doing that, which should be normal, but I'd make the call, if you have this available. I wish your dog well.

Seeking a vet is the best idea, Danes are prone to bloat and bloat can kill them and it is possible some of the junk got wrapped or lodged in his intestines. Hope ur dog will be okay, let us know the results.

my dane has ate many things that could have hurt badly, but i watched to make sure she puked and crapped out the stuff. as long as those things happened i didn't feel the need to take her to the vet. i'ved been right so far. i love my dane and always take when she needs it.

yellow foamy stuff...hmm....my dog did that before, just make him drink lots of water and eat food or pig ear or something to help me wash the junks down the system. i think he'll be fine.
