Without seeing Mia in person, I can't say for certain what is causing her to be sick so often, but it could be a GI illness, eating something rotten, a change in diet, or inflammatory bowel disease. I would have her seen by a vet first before changing her diet. The vet should be able to diagnose the cause, and then can prescribe the correct treatment. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
