Hi there. Sorry to hear that Diamond is not feeling well. If what she vomited up was causing her problems she may feel better now, and this should be reflected by her being bright, happy, and wanting to eat and drink and play. If she is not happy, seems to be painful in her abdomen, is not wanting to eat or drink, or is not wanting to play, then i would recommend having her checked by a veterinarian. The concern is that either she ate something that was rotting and now brought it up, or that she has necrotic tissue inside her guts from a different disease and is vomiting up rotting from her own self. If she continues to vomit, is lethargic, or seems sick at all I would strongly recommend having her see a veterinarian. If she is otherwise bright and happy I would feed her boiled/boneless/skinless chicken breasts and boiled rice for 2 days and then re-introduce her food slowly. If she becomes unwell have her checked out.

I’m so sorry to hear about Diamond! Unfortunately, these signs could be caused by several things including infection (parvo, other), toxin (chocolate, raisin, marijuana, other), pancreatitis, foreign material stuck in the stomach, liver or kidney disease, etc etc. If she vomits again or seems to get worse in any way, I’d strongly recommend taking Diamond to the nearest emergency vet. You may be offered x-rays and/or bloodwork depending on the exam and information your vet gets from you. They can also give fluids to help correct dehydration and anti nausea medication if indicated. If the vomiting has stopped, pick up the food and water and monitor. Reintroduce water 4 hours after the vomiting episode and a small meal 12 hours after vomiting episode. If anything changes or she looks worse, take her in to the vet. Best of luck to you and Diamond!
