Common causes of vomiting in dogs include dietary intolerance, dietary indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, IBD, pancreatitis, among others. In a young dog, my top two concerns would be parvo virus infection or intestinal blockage. I recommend that pets be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible when there has been vomiting for at least 24 hours. Your vet will do a thorough exam, and may recommend abdominal x-rays, bloodwork, or a parvo test. Then appropriate treatment can be prescribed. If there are concerns of intestinal blockage, Nova may need exploratory surgery to look around and remove anything from her stomach or intestines that is causing the problem
