Answers:
She may be having a reaction one or more things in her body all at once (worming %26 vaccinations)
The first thing for you to discern is whether your pet is vomiting or regurgitating. Both will result in fluid or food being brought up. Vomiting always will have heaving or retching of the abdomen prior to vomiting.
Regurgitation does not have heaving and the dog usually just opens the mouth and fluid or food will be expelled and it will be clear or brown colored fluid.
Vomiting should not be ignored if it persists for more than 24 hours. Get to a vet.
Treatment of vomiting: withhold food for 12 hours, then give small amounts of bland food such as rice and lean cooked hamburger. A half a tab of Pepcid can help to soothe the stomach.
