My dog threw up rawhide multiple times but seems fine. Should I worry?

Question

Cracker has vomited 4 times in the last 24 hours. She is still eating and drinking, playing and pooping normally. She doesn't seem uncomfortable but I'm still worried. She got a rawhide bone at Christmas and ate most of it. When she threw up the first two times it looked like a giant ball of compact rawhide and al of her food. She hasn't thrown up in the last few hours but gagged a little twice. Should I be concerned?

It is likely that the rawhide is what has made her sick, as they are not easily digested and can cause obstructions in the GI tract. Given that she is eating, drinking, playing, and pooping normally, I wouldn't be too concerned just yet, but I would recommend keeping an eye on her. It's good she hasn't thrown up in the last few hours, but should she start vomiting again, or becomes lethargic, anorexic, or experiences a change in her bowel movements, I would then become concerned and I would take her into the vet for an exam.
