I hate to hear Cloy is not doing well. I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian today. Not eating, not drinking and vomiting could indicate many things from severe pain to internal injuries. Since Cloy can't talk and tell you what is wrong, she needs a physical exam and likely some diagnostics to figure out what is happening and how she needs to be treated. I recommend to play it safe and have her examined quickly.
