Weird.
Are you feeding two equal size meals?
How soon is it coming back up?
Might try a little smaller morning meal.
Or splitting the digestive enzyme dosage between the two meals. Or giving the enzyme with the morning meal and seeing what happens with the evening meal.
I'm curious to hear how soon it is coming back up. I can't really see digestive enzymes having an immediate effect if the food is coming back up immediately after the meal.

I too am interested in all these details.
"Weird" is my expert analysis, too. 
Seriously, nothing comes to me to explain vomiting after the meal that has no digestive enzymes, and my gut (ha ha) feeling is that it's unrelated.
I'd probably decrease the size of the morning meal and see what happens. If possible, I'd even split it between, say, early a.m. and late a.m., again to see what happens.
But I'm with Michael that I would still like to hear meal sizes, how quickly the vomiting happens, and if it's the whole meal or is later on and a small amount, or what.

Another option that I like is baby food. It is thoroughly pulverized, easy to store and use, and is fairly cheap. Plus I don't have to put any work into making a veggie blend.:wink:
Then there is green tripe. It is the multiple stomach chambers of ruminants. There will be pre-digested vegetable matter on it, in its most natural form that a dog could get it. Straight from the stomach of a prey animal.
Michael - I gotta say, you are an interesting combination... Here is a guy who buys baby food vegetables so he doesn't have to go through the "work" of pureeing raw veggies, but is perfectly happy picking up raw, warm, fresh from the beast - tripe.
Something tells me you are perfectly comfortable changing Steve's stinky diapers....

I'm not a dirty diaper guy.
I've never said, "Nahhh.....It's OK. I got it.", when someone offers to change one. Koen is in their hands and I'm outta the room before they finish the sentence.
I like Steve and all, but I ain't touchin' his diapers.

Yeah, me neither.
Luckily, it hasn't been requested.

It is weird!
If anything the morning meal is definitely smaller and more plain. I've been offering the same weight of food at both meals, but in the morning she doesn't even come close to finishing. The evening she usually finishes.
At night I have been feeding her chicken backs, sometimes some necks, yogurt, hamburger and veggies. Because she's done so well I have even experimented with eggs and sardines. Sometimes a marrow bone after dinner. All have been fine.
Perfect poop in the morning, too.
In the morning I give her either all necks or mostly necks with a small back. She eats about half of it and pukes immediately.
I don' think that the evening meal is affecting her in the morning because the meals are 14 hours apart.
Is it that she might do better with more muscle meat in each meal?

Maybe.
Wouldn't hurt to try.
Replace about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the necks with some lean chicken breast or something similar at first. See how that goes.
I might even reduce the meal to an amount that I know she can finish. That way you take away all chance of her eating more than she really wants just because it is there.
I can't think of any reason why or how the absence of a digestive enzyme could cause this, though.
I stand by my original diagnosis.....weird. Hopefully to be upgraded to "Hmmmm?" in the next day or so.

Is it safe to assume any such request would result in an appearance of the infamous spanking gloves???

One more little note about the baby food.
The kinds that are just one vegetable or even some of the mixes are usually exactly what they say they are on the front of the jar.
Still, read the ingredients and make sure that there is no onion or garlic powder for flavoring.
