I would recommend getting her checked by a vet since she is so small. This will eliminate the risk of dehydration and check for a viral infection vs something she ate. If that is not possible then take the food and water away to let her stomach rest for a few hours. You can introduce pedialyte or Gatorade and boiled chicken and rice to start and see how she handles that until you can get her seen
