Bella sounds very sick. I see she is unspayed, and she could have a pyometra causing this vomiting. A pyometra is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. It could also be she has pancreatitis, a severe GI illness, or a foreign body. She sounds very sick, and she needs to see a vet now. Please take her into one immediately. Best of luck.
