Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having gastro-enteritis giving this problem.
It is possible that this might be due to food contamination.
Give her medicine like ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine and medicine for vomiting.
Give her light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk.
Give her enough water, electorlytes and ORS liquid to prevent dehydration.
Ok and take care.
