Ideally, Princess should be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the underlying cause if possible. She may be dehydrated after two days of vomiting and may need supportive care.
Sometimes, a few episodes of "simple" vomiting without any other symptoms can be managed at home with a 24 hour fast followed by feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. If this doesn't help, a visit to the vet is strongly recommended.
