Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Poor Bella! Dogs have a higher body temperature than humans (typically 101-102.5F), so that could be why she seems very warm. It could also be she has a fever. You can take her temperature rectally to check. The vomiting and diarrhea could be caused by a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or pancreatitis to name a few causes. Whenever a dog is both vomiting and having diarrhea, it's time to see a vet. Please bring her into one first thing in the morning. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
