I would suggest that if the dog puked blood or what looks like coffee grounds in the vomit, go to an Emergency Vet now. If it was normal vomit, see #11 below. Bear in mind that your dog can become dehydrated and very ill if she is vomiting often so if she's vomited more than twice in the last 24 hours, I would seek the attention of a vet, especially if there are ANY more symptoms such as refusing food, water, sleepiness, weakness/inability to stand, pale or tacky gums.
