Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Indy. This is what I recommend to all clients- if an abnormal sign persists, worsens, or other signs develop, that is when you should have your pet evaluated. I'm not really worried about the reverse sneezing but if the vomiting persists or worsens, or is accompanied by other signs such as lethargy, diarrhea, decreased appetite, etc then you should have Indy evaluated. If the vomiting has stopped then I think you are ok to just monitor her. Vomiting has many causes including intestinal worms, inflammation, infection, dietary problems (including dietary indiscretion or eating things pets are not supposed to eat, food sensitivities/allergies), ingestion of foreign bodies or exposure to toxins, bacterial overgrowth in the gut, problems in the stomach, intestines, or even problems outside of the intestinal tract/stomach including pancreatitis, kidney/liver problems, metabolic disease (diabetes,etc), endocrine diseases (thyroid or other hormone problems), etc. A thorough history and physical exam with resultant diagnostics such as fecal tests, blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies such as x-rays/ultrasound can be done to try to determine what is going on. Good luck. I hope this resolves quickly or is already resolved.
