If she's been repeatedly vomiting all morning, ideally get her in to see your vet. If she's lethargic or painful as well or is having severe diarrhea, you should definitely try to get her in. You can call you vet for recommendations on what you can give at home, as per my medical license, I cannot directly advise you (whom I haven't met) on extra-label use of medications on a pet that I have not seen. If everything else is normal --she's alert, happy, active, no diarrhea--- withhold food for 12 hours, and offer only very small amounts of water--the amount of a few ice cubes melted--offer a little water every 30-60 minutes. If she is tolerating small amounts of water, then after 12 hours you can try small amounts of a bland diet such as chicken and rice. You can call your vet about over the counter medications. He or she may recommend trying an acid reducer such as famotidine. Here is some info and dosing info on that drug: https://www.petcarerx.com/medication-guides/famotidine-for-pet-stomach-ulcers/1116 If there is any chance that Rosie ate bones, though, do not give famotidine or any acid reducer, as the stomach acid is needed to break down the bones. I hope thats helpful, thank you for asking PetCoach!
