dog health question?

alisa asked:
I have a dalmatian who is very thin as compared to any other I have seen. she is not emaciated in any way, just very lean. We have never been too concerned as she has always gotten a clean bill of health at the vet and has LOTS of energy. there have been a couple times in the past 3 mos or so that she has vommited a large amount of kibble quite a while after she ate. we were slightly concerned but being as she acted completely normal after (had lots of energy, ate and drank fine, and has healthy BMs) we did not worry too much. We came to see my BFs mom who has 2 dogs. one of which got into must have gotten into something because he vomited it up. even though it was soon after he ate breakfast, all he vomited was the wraper and some stomach fluid, no kibble. this got me thinking that maybe my dog is not digesting her food properly and that is why she would vomit so much kibble even though she ate so long ago and also why she is so thin compared to other dalmatians…continued…
I have a call into the vet but I have asked about her weight and they have never been concerned. they say she looks fine and his very healthy. any thoughts?
she does eat very fast but the couple times that this happened, she didn’t throw up until probably at least couple hours after she ate.
