Yes, it is likely the chicken that caused these symptoms in Sandi. Fatty foods are not tolerated well by dogs, and can lead to vomiting and diarrhea. It can also cause pancreatitis, which is life threatening. I'm not sure what medication you are giving her, but I would not recommend giving her any medication that has not been prescribed by a vet. I would take her into a vet for an exam to be safe, if she hasn't seen a vet already.
