Cry Oy, it's 3am and Veruca is sick again!

Hi everyone, I'm so upset. Fri night at 4am I woke up to loud barking from Veruca in her crate in the living room. She had vomited up her dinner and her treat I gave her before bed for rolling over. She then vomited a quarter sized amount of bile twice within two mins of each other. I cleaned up her mess, offered her water (she took some), walked her (she went both normally), and set up the couch. She slept on my legs through the night. On Sat, I skipped her breakfast to rest her stomach, and while I was out my husband called to say she vomited bile again (around 2p), but she has gone to the bathroom normally and taken some water. I called the vet and they told me to offer her Nutrical or honey(which she wouldn't take) and to monitor her since she was drinking. She vomitted again at 5p after refusing some of her dogfood so we took her to the vet. She hadn't eaten any toys, foreign objects, or bones that we're aware of. The vet examined her, said she didn't think her abdomen was painful, and did a fecal test (negative), gave her sub-cutaneous fluids, and a shot of Cerenia. When the medicine kicked in she seemed to be doing great, back to normal. I gave her Nutrical an hour after the vet and then boiled chicken and rice for dinner, both of which she eagerly accepted. She also was drinking water, but 4 hours later she has been moaning, and a clear fluid came out of her bum (she's scooting her bum on the ground - which she never does), and she's drooling alot (her beard is saturated - also never happens). I called the vet again at 2:45a and they said I could bring her back. But she seems to have settled down in a makeshift bed I made for her on the floor next to mine. Should I let her sleep and bring her in if she wakes up again? My husband said she could be drooling from the stress of feeling uncomfortable. Is this familiar to anyone??

Sorry this post is so long! Wendy
