These may be the early signs of a gastrointestinal inflammation/infection and some more signs like vomiting or diarrhoea may follow. Other differentials may include pain in the abdomen or possibly systemic diseases causing high temperature. I would recommend to feed her with a bland diet based on bolied chicken and rice in small portions for the next 48hours and in case of any more gastrointestinal signs have her checked by your local vet.
