Make sure she has bee dewormed to be safe. I would change to science diet I/D formula to help regulate her GI track. You may also use boiled chicken and rice. Make sure she is not eating sticks and such as this will make things worse. If the vomiting persist then it is time to start doing testing such as an X-ray or ultrasound to check for anything more severe.
