Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The signs that you describe indicate nausea (licking lips) and she is vomiting and both of these are concerning. These can be seen with a variety of conditions such as pancreatitis, chronic kidney disease, foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have your veterinarian take a look at Tina for further assessment and treatment based on findings. At the very least, they can start her on anti-nausea medications and check her hydration status. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
