Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Qumar. Poor girl. I imagine she is overgrooming due to the heat, leading to the formation of hair balls and vomiting. Vomiting isn't normal, so I would brush her every day to cut down on the shedding. I would also consider taking her into a groomer to get her groomed for the warm weather. I have a Persian, and I shave him in warm weather, which makes him much more comfortable. That may be an option for her. I hope this helps!
