Glad to hear that your Daisy is feeling better! I'm not a vet, so take my observations as just that, observations. My dogs, seven of them, will occasionally upchuck bile, or bile and grass. It seems that this is a dogs way of getting indigestables out of the stomach. Often the grass will contain bits of horse hoof, bone, or hair. My dogs live a rural lifestyle, and there is no telling what tasty tidbits they find. Yesterday Friskie was trotting around with a chunk of dried hide, probably something the barn cats had. That, of course went in the trash!!
My rule of thumb is to watch the upchucking dog. If the dog is not acting sick, I give a bland meal like the others advised. If it continues for more than 24 hours, or the dog can't hold a meal down I start to worry. Thankfully, with the bile vomit, I have never had to seek veterinary help.
Hopefully Daisy will continue to feel good, and this won't happen again any time soon.
