My recently adopted dog is throwing up. Is it stress or heat cycle?

Hope you all are doing great! So, I woke up today to find this next to her (pictures attached) , not sure what it is but I found something similliar or the same thing next to her a couple of days back in lesser amount, that then was white. We've adopted her a week back. We don't know what it is , and I was wondering if it was a sign of her being in the later stage of her heat cycle. But we don't even know if she is in heat. Would really appreciate your input! Thanks!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kishmish. Congratulations on adopting her! The attached pictures appear to show vomit. The stress of coming to a new home and a potential diet change can cause gastrointestinal upset. She will need to see her veterinarian to ensure she is healthy and if any treatment is required. I hope this information!
