My dog threw up. Is it from eating a pen or her constant paw licking?

Question

My dog just threw up but I have no idea if this has to do with piece of a pen she ate earlier or because she keeps licking her paws thoughts? Pet's info: Dog | Cockapoo | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 15.6 lbs

Poor Willow! Eating this pen could have upset hr stomach. Licking the paws is likely due to something else like allergies or a skin infection. I can give you a home remedy for the vomiting to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
