It's possible that the chemical those pads are impregnated with is reacting with her system. However, it is also possible that part of it has caused an obstruction. Usually you don't see nausea from an obstruction until about 12-24 hours later, but given this history I would get this dog seen by a vet as soon as possible.
Is it possible in ANY way that the dog ate something else at the same time?? Puppies will snag THE most unlikely objects -- from a knee-hi stocking to aluminum foil and beyond.
In brief -- when a dog obstructs on something, the stomach becomes blocked and nothing can exit it. ANYthing that is in the tummy (even if it has backed up from the intestinal tract) will cause stomach acid to pour into the body and nausea results. That's one of the many reasons it's so important to keep track of a pup 24/7.
