She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Bella boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take Bella to the vet to get treatment.

    Since this just started, as long as she's comfortable and breathing normally, there isn't anything you need to do right now. Make sure she has access to water and don't offer her any more food tonight. If the vomiting/diarrhea continue tomorrow, I'd recommend a vet visit. You can make boiled chicken and rice for her for meals tomorrow if you have time, but her regular food is also fine if you don't!
