If you decide against it, she has to see a vet first thing in the morining. If her gums are anything but a good pink color, she could be in trouble. If they are no moist, she could be in trouble. I'm very sorry this vet didn't take the problem seriously.

I would hope she is holding water down, but if not, it is all the more concerning.

For a comparison, my girl had a bunch of diarrhea a couple weeks ago. It had only been about 1/2 day and her gums seemed a bit sticky. I had to give her subq fluids just to be safe...and then was one day.
ETA: She vomited a bit a couple days later and then the decision was made to give them.

You're welcome. Good idea. At the least, they can give her something to stop the vomiting. It's just not worth it to wait.
