Sorry....it posted before I could add this. Please do take her to the vet and ask for a complete blood work-up. Check diabetes, and kidney & liver function. Never mind how old she is. So long as she has decent quality of life she is entitled to get very old indeed if she wants to.

Little Lily needs to see the vet. I can feel how much you love her.

If she's throwing up white foam, that means she isn't throwing up her food! That's a good thing. But her weight loss needs investigating, and something like an anti-nausea drug might help her.

Does she throw up when she has an empty stomach? Some dogs do. I had a Jack Russell once who used to go outside, eat grass, throw up foam and grass, as easily as if he was cleaning his toe-nails....then come in and ask for his dinner!
The vet never figured out why he did it. And that was when he was 7 or 8. (He lived healthily to over 14) I found that feeding him smaller quantities more frequently helped.
