My dog keeps throwing up after drinking water. When to call vet?

Question

Hexa has now vomited twice in the last 12 hours after taking a big drink of water. No other symptoms, just a big mess. When is this a call for alarm? Symptoms of dehydration I should look for? Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Female | spayed | 4 years and 1 month old

She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Hexa boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment. signs of dehydration would be lethargy, loss of skin elasticity (on pinching and releasing), sunken eyes.
