I'm sorry to hear about your dog's condition. Vomiting green material multiple times a day, along with significant weight loss, is understandably concerning. The green color could indicate bile, which often occurs when the stomach is empty or due to other digestive issues.

There are several potential causes for these symptoms, such as gastrointestinal infections, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, or more serious conditions like liver or kidney problems.

Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your dog:

Firstly, ensure she stays hydrated by offering small amounts of water frequently. It's important to keep her hydrated, especially if she's been vomiting.

Next, consider temporarily withholding food for 12 to 24 hours to allow her stomach to settle. After this period, you can introduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small portions to see if she can tolerate it.

Additionally, monitor her closely for any additional symptoms, such as lethargy, diarrhea, or changes in behavior. These could provide further clues about her condition.

Given the duration and severity of her symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can perform the necessary tests to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
