Vomiting that much for this many days is "extremely" dangerous. She almost certainly has to be dehydrated right now. With that much vomiting, it could even be pancreatitis. Your girl needs fluids (subq at the least, but maybe IV) immediately (imo). When my girl vomits just eight or so times, it is a big concern. I would take her to the ER. If you decide against it, she has to see a vet first thing in the morining. If her gums are anything but a good pink color, she could be in trouble. If they are no moist, she could be in trouble. I'm very sorry this vet didn't take the problem seriously.

I would hope she is holding water down, but if not, it is all the more concerning.

For a comparison, my girl had a bunch of diarrhea a couple weeks ago. It had only been about 1/2 day and her gums seemed a bit sticky. I had to give her subq fluids just to be safe...and then was one day.
