Yes, I would withhold food for tonight and then feed her the bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. If Laika still has diarrhea on the bland diet for another 24 hours, then I would take her back into the vet for an exam.

    withhold food for 6 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 4 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.
