I would recommend taking Bootsie to the veterinarian. There could be a few different things going on with her. The vomiting and the smaller stool may indicate constipation while the increase in urination can indicate a urinary tract infection. I would recommend a urinalysis be performed and have your veterinarian check to see if she is constipated. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
