If this is a new, sudden behavior, it's a good idea to have Jazmine examined by your vet, especially since she is a senior girl. Sudden symptoms like this could indicate an underlying illness, something obstructing the GI tract, or even changes to the tract itself affecting motility. If she is gulping her food down, feeding smaller meals more often may help prevent her from throwing it all back up as well.
