I also have an 8-9mnth old girl and she literally just went through heat and it was NOTHING like that. She simply bleed for a couple weeks, almost not even noticable. We didn't even bother with a diaper because it was so clean. We put her on a special blanket on our bed, and it was fine...even that blanket stayed clean just a few spots.
Also, Tikka [ours] didn't vomit and ate fine... she was just a little more whiney than usual and wanted LOTS of attention.

I would say take her into the vet, because she could have an infection along with her heat cycle. Tikka came out of heat with a possible urinary infection this week, so she's going to the vet on Thursday to start a 10day pill regime to see if it's just an infection as she's leaking urine during rest so there's lots of options as to what it could be.

Also if you're wondering about the cost to take her in, I live in Northern Alberta and it's only going to cost me $100 to take her in for an exam and to get pills for UTI. Definitely worth it.
