It sounds like your Labrador retriever is experiencing some discomfort with frequent vomiting and coughing. The clear and slimy vomit suggests that it might be related to an irritation or inflammation in the stomach or throat. The dry heaving followed by vomiting could be due to several reasons, such as an upset stomach, ingestion of something irritating, or even a respiratory issue given the coughing.

Here are a few things you can do at home:

1. **Hydration**: Ensure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration, especially if she's vomiting frequently.

2. **Diet**: Withhold food for a few hours to let her stomach settle. Afterward, you can try offering a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice in small amounts to see if she can keep it down.

3. **Environment**: Make sure she is in a calm and comfortable environment to reduce any stress that might be contributing to her symptoms.

4. **Monitor**: Keep an eye on her behavior and symptoms. If the vomiting persists or if she shows signs of lethargy, weakness, or any other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to seek veterinary attention.

Since this has been ongoing for a day and involves both vomiting and coughing, it's important to monitor her closely. If her condition doesn't improve or worsens, consulting a veterinarian would be the best course of action to rule out any underlying issues.
