Lab throwing up from water

Question
I have a 9 month old Lab and within the last month or so she has a problem with keeping water in her system.  Whenever she drinks her water from her bowl, she ends up throwing up from it a few minutes later on.  If she drinks a lot of water, she will often times throw up several times.  The vomit is completely clear and looks like it is primarily water (with a few pieces of recent dog food  or whatever she recently ate).  I have found that if you give her just a little bit of water she will do better, but she appears to be always thirsty and I would like to leave a bowl of water out for her at all times.  Should I be worried, or is she just drinking to fast?  Any suggestions?

Answer
dog s throw up fairly easily, but I have not heard or experienced anything like what you describe. if there arwe no other concerns, like dehydration, which a Veterinarian could check out, other things I would check for are quality of the water, intestinal parasites, and food alergies. thie issue could take some time to find a cause. so a full disclosure of any thing and every thing, about the dog, is in order to find a possible cause.
