She have have been [stung by a bee](https://www.petcoach.co/article/what-to-do-if-your-pet-is-stung-by-a-bee) or suffered some other type of insect bite or sting - this can sometimes cause allergic reactions that may include [vomiting](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/vomiting-1/). Or, the [limping](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/lameness-1/) and vomiting may be unrelated problems. If she has vomited more than 7 times in the last half hour, this is a sign that something is very wrong - I would recommend having her examined by a vet immediately to diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.
