my dog threw up her food (no liquid just food) and has been having intermittent shakes. she had nothing out of the normal other than a primal bone, sweet potato and her normal dog food. She had the primal bone earlier today (frozen marrow bone) maybe 8 hours or more ago. She went on walk and was normal, ate a treat, and is back and acting off, still having shakes.

The bone could be causing Joey some problems. Bones can get caught in the GI tract causing an obstruction. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food tonight, then in the morning feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
