Hi there. I'm so sorry to hear about Bella's troubles. Wretching in Bella's case can be caused by a handful of things. She could have an infection of some kind, or have eaten something rotten or toxic. She could have ingested a piece of blanket or toy if she is the type to chew up those things. Bella could also be hacking or coughing so hard it looks like wretching. If she was recently around other dogs, she may have picked up a respiratory bug. I would have Bella checked out just to make sure nothing serious is going on. It may just be some mild that needs some medication, but it could also be something serious starting like coming from an infection or a blockage.
