I would recommend that Flo be checked out by a vet immediately. A bubble on top of the eye is not normal, and could be a sign that her eyeball is trying to rupture. This is incredibly painful for a dog to experience. The vomiting could be related to the pain from the eye, or could be an indicator of some other internal medical issue. A vet will do a thorough physical and ocular exam, and may recommend bloodwork or x-rays to see what the cause for the vomiting could be from. Until Flo sees a vet, try to keep her from rubbing her head on the floor since this could cause further damage to the eye.
