I'm sorry to hear that Zoe is not feeling well. There are many things that can lead to vomiting. In a dog of her age, I would think first about dietary indiscretion (eating something she's not used to or not supposed to), change in diet, infectious disease such as parvo (especially if she isn't fully vaccinated), or parasites. If she's still acting very normal, you could try withholding food and water overnight and see if the vomiting resolves. If it does, I would start feeding small amounts of a chicken and rice mixture. If she still is improving, you can then start to transition her back to her normal diet after a couple of days. If the vomiting does not resolve after fasting her and especially if other symptoms such as poor appetite, decreased energy or diarrhea appear, I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian for evaluation. They will likely recommend blood work, x-rays (to look for a blockage) and a parvo test. I hope this helps and that Zoe starts to feel better soon!
