Default Anything I can/should do?

My little Billi just spent the last several days at my Grandmothers since we had to go out of town and couldn't bring her. My Grandmother is a mostly great puppy-sitter, but she spoils her rotten and over-feeds her- gives her too much people food. I've asked her repeatedly to tone it down and I thought she had, but she told me Billi was given several small bites of home-made jerky over the weekend and now I'm a little concerned.

I got Billi home last night and she seemed fine, maybe a little tired tho. Late this morning she ran outside and had multi-colored diarrhea and it looked mucousy, too. She's been gagging off and on all day. I cut off most of her food- she hasn't had much of an appetite anyway. I've given her a small dose of immodium after I saw her diarrhea, and tried to give her a little pumpkin, but she won't eat it. She's slept off and on today and while I can tell this isn't an emergency, she does seem uncomfortable at times when she is awake. She's gagged repeatedly, but hasn't actually vomited. I tried to offer a little water a few minutes ago and it made her more nauseous and you can hear her poor, tiny tummy gurgling.

Is there anything else I can do for her? Do you think it's the jerky that's affecting her? Should I give her some Pepto and if so how much? I plan on calling the vet in the am, but am curious if anyone has info tonight since my vet thinks I'm a little bit of a puppy-hypochondriac.
