My dog is vomiting and has loose stools but seems fine. What to do?

Question

On Monday my 50 lb 1 year old hound mix vomited several times (within a few minutes of each other). Since her appetite has decreased and shes vomited 2 more times - food or grass from previous day. She is passing stools, but it's loose. Otherwise she's acting normal. I'm not sure what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 50 lbs

Is there is any chance Mollie could have eaten something (a toy, etc) that could cause a blockage? If you think so, I would take her to the vet soon to have her evaluated. The vet will most likely want to perform x-rays to look for a foreign body. If you don't think she got into anything out of the ordinary she may be suffering from gastroenteritis. This can be cause by a change in diet, eating people food, stress or intestinal parasites. If you can't get her to the vet soon you could try to withhold food for about 24 hours or try feeding her something bland and easily digestible (like plain boiled chicken) and see if that helps settle her tummy. If you've tried these things and she's still vomiting and have diarrhea I would recommend taking her to see your vet.
