Watch her very closely. If she continues then she will quickly
dehydrate which can become very serious. Vomiting is one symptom of
alot of potential problems. My first thought is blockage from eating
something undigestible such as rubber or large piece of dehydrated
food like veg. treats. Have vet available/on call to take for
emergency if vomiting continues. Is it trying to eat/drink? Could
it have eaten 'rotten/moldy' food from being wet and sitting out too
long? Keep investigating.
