Oh no, poor Sansa! It could be that she is in a lot of pain from having her leash wrapped so tightly around her leg, and that is causing her to vomit. It's also serious that her whole leg is swollen. I would have Sansa seen by a vet immediately for a physical exam, blood tests, urinalysis, and x-rays. The vet can determine what damage, if any, was done to her leg from this and can discuss treatment options with you.
