Oh no, poor Haro Kitaru! She may be vomiting from a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps before having to take her into the vet. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) 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.
