i give a tablespoon of yogurt for digestion problems.

its difficult to say whether you should take her to the er for a little vomiting. It depends on how well you know your dog. Mine had a bout of vomting a few weeks ago, which is very unlike her. she vomited up bile at least 5 times in one day and was very sleepy for most of the day. i kept an eye on her and said if she does it again teh next day i'd take her in. the next morning i gave her some yogurt. no more vomiting that day and she had more energy. it wasn't the yogurt that cured her but it helps put good bacteria back into the digestive tract.

Also DO NOT feed her for at least 12 hours to give her tummy a rest. if you keep feeding her thinking that she's hungry because she vomited everything up then she's just going to continue to vomit. Also limit her water intake as this can also make her vomit. After 12 hours you can offer her boiled chicken and rice if you wish or give her her regular meal just in a much smaller portion.
