last 4 days she vomits every day , sometimes even few times a day;

Answer
I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam and some blood tests.  If she is not spayed, I would be concerned about underlying uterine infection.

You can try feeding her a bland diet of boiled burger and rice with plain yogurt and eliminate regular dog food for a few days.  Try to feed 3-4 small meals a day to see if that reduces the vomiting--if so, this is a good sign that she has a food allergy or irritable bowel.
