I think what you are seeing is normal. The worms are dying so they are coming out. Take a photo to show your vet and call them in the morning. They make recommend to do further deworming on Bella. Keep in mind, these sound like round worms which humans can get so make sure to wash your hand thoroughly after cleaning up after her and before eating. The worms dying may be upsetting Bella's tummy. Feed her smaller, more frequent meals. You can also give her boiled white rice and chicken tonight and tomorrow. This bland diet will help to keep her tummy settled. If she becomes very lethargic tonight, take her to an emergency clinic but this is unlikely to happen. I hope this helps!
