Removing a tick can sometimes be stressful for dogs, and if any part of the tick is left behind, it might lead to irritation or infection. Vomiting could be a response to stress or potentially linked to an initial reaction to the tick bite. It's best to monitor your dog closely and ensure she is calm and hydrated.
