Poor Lexi! She could have an infection (parvo virus, etc.), parasite, intussusception, etc. . Your vet can test a stool sample and take an x-ray, if needed, to help diagnose the problem. She should probably be hospitalized on IV fluids until the vomiting stops. She may need an anti-vomiting medication, like Cerenia to help control the vomiting. Hope she feels better soon!
