Poor Schuyler! If she's only vomited once or twice in a 24 hour period and is acting normal otherwise (active, eating and drinking, etc.), then you can try feeding a bland diet of chicken and rice for the next few days to help settle her stomach. If she's had repeated episodes of vomiting today (more than 3 separate episodes), if the problem has been going on for more than 24 hours, or if she has any other symptoms such as acting lethargic or not wanting to eat, then this indicates a more serious problem - this could be a systemic illness like liver or kidney disease, a GI issue like pancreatitis or an intestinal obstruction, or ingestion of something toxic. In that case, I would recommend taking her in to an emergency vet this evening for an exam if possible. If you aren't able to do this, then I would see your regular vet first thing in the morning.
