Hi there! Unfortunately, if she's vomiting and not eating, this isn't likely to be caused by parasites - these are normally signs of a more serious illness. She may have parvo (if she isn't fully vaccinated), an intestinal obstruction due to something she ate, or may have ingested something toxic. I'm afraid a dewormer isn't likely to help her at all - she really needs to be seen by a vet right away. If cost is a concern, you may be able to find a low-cost SPCA clinic in your area that could help. You can also try calling your local shelter to see if they have any resources to assist pet owners with veterinary emergencies or urgent care.
