OK. Called my friend (Mindy). When her dogs got into the dark meat turkey/skin and got really sick, she had to take them to the vet. They were put on Science Diet special diet for a week or two (made for intestinal problems) and she had to gradually introduce the Science Diet in. Basically, she took all food and water away for a few hours, then gave small amount of water and food (Science Diet) and gradually built up. But, the only thing they ate for the couple weeks was the Science Diet to get back on track.

However, they were chronic vomit/diarrhea. Sounds like Mya is similar to her dog Hops who just had a spell a week or so ago. It was a Saturday. They are very good about cleaning up after meals, but for some reason, they stepped away and he had snarfed all the leftovers on top of the table. He had bad runs and some vomit the next day. So, she fed him a very bland diet of boiled lean ground meat (lean ground beef or pork) mixed with boiled plain white rice and it seemed to clear things up in about four days... If you can't get her into the vet this weekend, you may want to start her on a rice/boiled meat diet the rest of today and tomorrow thru when you can get her in (if it doesn't clear up). No other dog food -- the rice and boiled lean ground meat. Drain the meat before mixing with rice. She used pork as that was what she had on hand, but beef (lean hamburger) works. Make sure she is drinking a lot of water... Took Mindy's dog about 4 or 5 days. Hops is about Mya's size -- he is a Lab/Shephard mix.
