Vomiting can be caused by so many things, ranging from infection to kidney disease to intestinal parasites to toxins. I would recommend that you have Zoe examined by a vet to see what could be going on. The vet will do an examination and discuss her symptoms and medical and vaccination histories. Then they may recommend diagnostics or treatment based on what could be going on.
