Have a question, need help

My Lola, who is just 2 yo., has started vomiting in the morning, mostly bile, sometimes,k foamy, with a little bile. 

I usually feed her at 5-5:50 pm, and then again by 7:00 am, when she goes to bed at night, I give her a few green beans.

She used to be able to run around alot, zoomies, etc.  But now she tires easily and has trouble breathing when excited or out running around.  This started about two minths ago.  Her eyes are alsored, so I was thinking allergies.. but now 'i am not so sure, anyone have any input?

I think she is throwing up from an empty tummy.

I would feed her at no more than 12 hour increments. Longer than 12 hours is too long for a tummy to go without food and the acid starts to back up causing them to throw up. I would feed 12 hours apart, then give a little snack in between and before bed.

I have a small girl, too. Isabella only weighs in at about 35 pounds at 1 year. She won't be much bigger than that I don't think. Sophie is only 45 pounds and has been since she was a year old.

She's small and weighs about 41 lbs.

she had been around 39 lbs. for the longest time.  I give them all frozen green beans  for snacks.  I used to buy all kinds of treats for them and they had tear stains, loose stools, etc. so when I switched them just green beans for their treats, and only their kibble things got better.  I agree with you, I think her palatte needs to be trimmed.  Thanks for the input!

bile is because the tummy is empty..

I give bedtime snacks (1/4 - 1/2 cup of their kibble). Two of my dogs will vomit bile between meals if they aren't fed a snack. They eat at 6:30AM and 5PM.

You mentioned that you feed green beans. Is she overweight? Maybe she needs more food than you are feeding.

I'd take her to the vet to rule out anything medical. Could be her palate needs a little trim.

You can use her own kibble as her "cookie snack"

If she starts to vomit and it doesn't come up right away, then you need to help her by clearing her throat. I would stick my finger down her throat if she is not breathing long enough to pass out. That's not good.

Get her checked by a vet.

thanks I will try that tonight.

I hope this works I hate it when they throw up.  They are like little shildren, she gets all nervous and shaking.  Once she even passed out.
