According to the ASPCA, the Wandering Jew is toxic to dogs, but you typically see a contact allergy from eating it, not vomiting. It's quite concerning that Nova may be vomiting blood, and it could be that she ate something else causing the vomiting and blood in her vomit. There can be a number of serious causes of blood in the vomit, such as perforation of the GI tract, eating something toxic, rat bait poisoning, or GI ulcers among other causes. I would take Nova into a vet immediately for medical treatment and to diagnose the cause of her vomiting with blood.

wandering jew plant does not typically cause vomiting, i suspect the vomiting may be caused by something else. if by tomorrow morning you do not see an improvement - take him to your vet to get it treated.
