My senior dog is throwing up and won't eat. What home remedies help?

Question

My mom has a 10 year old pom/poo that is having stomach issues. She has been throwing up. She refuses to eat dry dog food and we have been giving her the same dog food she usually eats. Do you suggest some medication we can add to her food? Pet's info: Dog | Pomapoo | Female | spayed | 15 lbs

Throwing up can have many causes such as a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast Misty for 24 hours and then put the dog on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the vomiting or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
