Quick! Puppy vomit question! Help me dog people!

Help! Puppy (7 month old labX) has just spent 10 minutes retching and producing just a small globule of white foamy biley stuff each time.

Google terrifies me by telling me it's bloat/parvo/rabies/Kennel Cough. All of which strike me as unlikely.

BUT, he did eat a lot of crap at the weekend (cuttlefish & some of a crab on beach, sticks etc) so obv I'm worried about obstructions.. (we try and get it off him, but it was a particularly bad couple of days for him).

(And most PFD guilt-like confession, I did possibly lose a raisin earlier this afternoon. I know they're poisonous so I had a good look for it when I thought I'd dropped it, but obviously his tongue would've found it if it had been there.)

He hasn't been fed since lunchtime and some treats for his clicker session about 1-2 hours ago.
He was asleep.
He isn't interested in drinking water.
He's back in bed.
His stomach isn't sore for me to touch.
He's well wormed.

Do I need to worry?

I wouldn't worry about the raisin tbh, i doubt it even touched the sides

I'd phone the vet, see what they advise, and def go in in the morning if they and you are happy to leave it over night.

It could be a bit of stick or a pebble, anything.

If he's well wormed and innoculated I'd think most of your google worries can be discounted.

Is he keen to take and eat a treat??

Our puppy did this and was sick about 10 times with loads of froth - we took to vet *( we luuurve paying vet bills and are very PFD) and apparently the froth is just their bile so don't worry but if still off tomorrow then whizz down otherwise keep offerring water and don't feed him till the morning....
