Answer

Your Yorkie Poo's intermittent vomiting since this morning is concerning and suggests that she may not be able to keep her food down. It is important to assess her condition to decide if immediate veterinary attention is needed.

  • Watch for signs of dehydration or distress.
  • Monitor if the vomiting persists or worsens.
  • Consider consulting a vet for a professional evaluation.

Vomiting can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from mild stomach upset to something more serious like ingestion of a toxin or obstruction. It's important to keep an eye on your pet's overall behavior, hydration levels, and any other symptoms that may arise. If she continues to vomit, appears lethargic, or shows signs of discomfort, professional veterinary advice is necessary.

If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
