This is an emergency. She needs to see a vet right now. She will likely be placed on fluids and anti-emetics. It sounds an awful lot like pancreatitis (and hopefully not a blockage).

Please get her to the vet immediately.
Exactly! Her situation could be life threatening at this point, especially if she is small.
