Hi. How is she doing now? Better, worse? You need to see if you can find out what it is that she ate so you can rule out harmful toxins. Also, did you check her mouth in case something is stuck in there? If her condition is worsening, check to see if you have any online ER vets in your area that you could talk to about what is going on with her. Local SPCA offices might have some contacts as well.

Frothing stopped for now and she is sleeping so I think we can ruled out poisoning??..

Thanks for the suggestion.. There is nothing sucked in her mouth. Her gums are okay and her breathing is 33 beats per minute

Hopefully, but just keep a close eye on her for a while. 33 beats per minute is just a tad higher than the average of 20-30, but that could be her normal - or the result of what she just went through. In addition to the rate, watch her to ensure the breathing pattern is pretty regular.

You still need to continue to search for the 'culprit' in case it was something she ate, so as to avoid it again. That goes for stuff outside as well, if she is indoor/outdoor. If there continues to be frothing occurrences in the near future, you might want to prepare now by finding any possible vet facility that would be open, even if it were for phone conversations. And, a video of the frothing - if it happens again - could be useful.

Keep us posted!
