Poor Lola! She could have an infection, parasite, or an upset stomach from eating something. If she is otherwise acting normal then you could withhold food for 6 hours and then try a small amount of a bland diet, like boiled chicken and white rice. You could also add a probiotic to her diet, Fortiflora or Proviable. If the vomiting continues or she becomes lethargic then she needs to be examined by a vet as soon as possible. Your vet can test a stool sample for parasites and then prescribe medications to help treat. Hope she feels better soon!
