Old dog problems

You might not remember, but my dog is very old and has been the decline. I posted back in October about him. The vet said he's just old and to keep an eye on him, especially his quality of life.

I know the best answer can only come froma vet, but I just wanted to ask a few questions.

**Bit grose warning**
When we were out of the room, my dog had either urinated, or was sick but what we found on the floor was 'egg yolk' yellow in one part and also frothy. I would normally think this was bile but when he does wee, it is frothy anyway these days??

Has anyone with dogs experiences this? I will abviously take him to the vet, but I just would like some ideas.

Thank you

Sounds like normal bile to me, I would keep an eye on him and check with the vet if it happens again, but wouldn't be too worried. Not likely to be wee, anyway if problems with wee it is usually to do with much darker than normal i.e. bright orange.
See how he keeps his dinner down, and if he wants to go out and eat grass, as this can sometimes cause them to bring up bile.

Thank you, my feeling was bile, but I just wasn't sure. I will take him for a health check again. He usually has this after a seizure but no-one was in the room when it happened. He is 17 after all poor thing, but better to be safe than sorry!

Thank you :0)
