My 3 year old yellow Lab has been very bloated and gassy for most of the day. She is her normal high spirited self and has vomited a couple of times. Should I be extremely worried?

She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Jolene boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or being bloated, take her to the vet to get treatment.
