Poor Bailey! If she has only vomited once you can pick up her food and try offering a bland meal of boiled rice and chicken in a few hours to see if she'll eat, as this can help settle her stomach if there is a minor cause of GI upset. If she won't eat anything at all, continues to vomit, is extremely lethargic right now, or her gums appear pale or blue, then this is a sign something more serious may be ongoing and she needs to be seen by a vet right away. If you're having trouble affording care, these two sites can help give you some ideas/options to afford it in case Bailey needs to get in right away: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/are-you-having-trouble-affording-your-pet https://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/
