A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

She is likely either suffering from a gastrointestinal infection or a foreign body ingestion, you will need to take her to your vet ASAP to get an injection to stop the vomiting to start with, your vet will check her and decide if more tests are needed for diagnosis.
