Hello, and thank you for your question. I'm so sorry to hear that Jedi is so unwell. Her symptoms are very serious and warrant immediate attention by a veterinarian. Possible causes of her illness include toxin ingestion, severe gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, parasites, or an intestinal foreign body. When she sees the vet, they will perform a full physical exam, and may recommend blood work or x-rays to pinpoint the cause of illness. At minimum, they can offer supportive treatments such as fluid therapy to help rehydrate her, stomach protection medications, and anti-diarrhea medications. In the meantime, try to offer small, frequent meals of a bland diet such as boiled chicken and plain white rice. Offer water in small frequent amounts as well. I hope this helps, and that Jedi feels better soon.
