It is not unusual for dogs to eat feces and this can make them throw up. Try to stop her from eating feces by going outside with her and immediately removing any waste. You can also feed her a product such as Forbid which can make some pets stop the behavior. Vomiting has many causes. If she vomits for more than 24 hours or if she has severe vomiting, she should see her veterinarian. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
