She may have some gastric upset or pancreatitis. Withhold food for the day and see if that helps. If it continues, she starts vomiting or having diarrhea than she needs to be seen by a vet for treatment. Hope she feels better soon.

    It is very likely she has an upset stomach from eating people food. Dogs don't process people food as well as we do, especially fast food. You should let her fast (no food) for at least 12 hrs to help her stomach settle. Then offer her a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice for a few days, then slowly transition back to her normal dog food over the course of 4-7 days. Hopefully she will feel better soon and not require any additional medical treatment through your vet, which is indicated if she starts to have serious GI symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite).
