She may have an upset stomach from something that she ate. If she is acting fine otherwise, you could withhold food for the day and then try a small amount of a bland diet, like boiled chicken and white rice, this afternoon. If she has any vomiting and/or diarrhea then she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. She may need an anti-nausea medication, gastrointestinal protectant, antacid, anti-diarrhea, and/or other medications.
