Poor Olivia! Vomiting and not eating for more than 24 hours definitely warrants a vet visit. I'm afraid there's really not much you can do at home if she can't keep anything down. I would recommend taking her to the vet today for an exam. He/she can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help determine the cause of the vomiting (which could be anything from a relatively minor upset stomach, to something serious like an intestinal obstruction, liver or kidney disease, etc.), and will likely give her an injection to help stop the vomiting as well as some fluids to help with dehydration. Further treatment will depend on the underlying cause - your veterinarian should be able to advise you based on her exam and lab results.
