If she ate a significant amount of her bedding, it's definitely possible that she could have an intestinal obstruction. Normally, signs of an obstruction would include vomiting, lethargy, not eating, and not having bowel movements. It sounds like your pup is eating normally and having bowel movements regularly. Vomiting once or twice is not necessarily a concern is she is still eating find and acting normal - but if she has repeated episodes of vomiting, stops having bowel movements, or begins acting lethargic then I would recommend having her seen by a vet right away.

Vomiting can have many different underlying causes, but since Lexi ate some of her bed I would be concerned about the potential for an obstruction. If she only vomited twice and is now eating, drinking and acting like her normal self you could monitor her through there day and see if it happens again. If she doesn’t want to eat, vomits again, or seems lethargic or painful you should definitely see your veterinarian.

Poor girl. An obstruction is always on the list when a dog, particularly a young dog, is vomiting, however, because this ordeal started with diarrhea first and she's only vomited once, an obstruction is much less likely. Feeding her rice was a great idea, and since the diarrhea is ongoing and it's been more than 24 hours, I would recommend a vet visit in the morning. You only need to take her to an emergency clinic if she's very lethargic, or the diarrhea/vomiting is very frequent (more than every 2-3 hours), or you feel like something is just not right. As far as possible causes, there are quite a few, but it includes intestinal parasites, gut irritation from dietary indiscretion, and less likely would be a metabolic or endocrine issue starting up. Good luck! I hope she's feeling better by tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

If she has been vomiting for 4 days then she should be examined by a vet to determine if she has an obstruction. Your vet can take an x-ray of her abdomen to help diagnose and then determine the best way to treat. If she has an obstruction she would need surgery to treat the problem.
