Poor Shelby! I would have her seen by a vet immediately. It's quite serious that there is blood in her vomit, and that could be caused by a trauma to the GI tract from all the vomiting. The vomiting could be caused by eating something rotten, GI illness, a foreign body, intestinal worms, or pancreatitis. The vet can diagnose what is causing her vomiting and can treat her for it. Please take her into a vet now.
