Is he off his food? Best let the vet examine him. Hope everything goes well. Sad

It could be one of many things - is there grass in the sick or just flem? How long has it been going on? Xx

Bright yellow? When you say weasing do you mean just before he throws up? How often has he thrown up?

Are you sure it's eggs or just bubbles of air? If they are solid, I would get him to the vets ASAP

As Janey says, is he wheezing all the time and his breathing is laboured? Or do you mean he is heaving just before he is sick?

okay, stomach bloated? stools okay? gums pink? has he been out in the sun for prolonged periods today? could be dehydration. is he taking water at all and feeding okay? if he is on kibble get some wet food in and try him on that, brand, type doesnt matter for the odd can its mainly water anyway and will help rehydrate if thats the case

you say eggs, please post a pic or more accurate desription and are there any signs of worms in the vomit?
if anything call your vet if they are closed the answer machine will have a 24 hour number to ring. your not oblidged to go in but they will give you some basic advice.
