Poor Roxy! I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. As for her sneezing, that could be caused by allergies or a respiratory infection. I would have Roxy seen by a vet for this even if the vomiting stops. The vet can diagnose what is causing the sneezing so she can be treated.
