Hello, sorry to hear about Nickhun. It would depend what you bathed her with, but if it was something for fleas, or something with some other kind of chemical, I would be concerned that she ingested some and is likely having a reaction to what ever you may have used to bathe her with.

There are other things that could cause vomiting and diarrhea such as toxins, infections, inflammation of the bowel, ingestion of foreign material, liver, kidney or pancreatic disease.

Additionally, if she is now feeling sick after her bath, and if she was stressed during her bath then this could also be Addison's disease.

I would recommend having Nickhun evaluated by a veterinarian today to ensure there is nothin in her GI tract or ensure she is not having a toxic reactions.

Hope this helps and best of luck.
