welcome to hcm
short answer : give her plenty of fluids and electrolytes
detailed answer:
she might be needing injections as she has vomiting and loose stools
adequate hydration is the first thing to do
next thing give her some antibiotics like metronidazole and give her antipyretics like paracetamol.
if she continues to have loose stools she might need iv fluids for correction of her dehydrating status hope this explains
