Poor Akire! The yellowish color of her vomit is bile, and if she has only vomited once, I would try a home remedy first before having to take her into the vet. The vomiting could be caused by aWithhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or pancreatitis.
