Morphine can make a human nauseous, but I am not certain about a dog. Call your vet to check on this? If she is vomiting right after the morphine it might not be having the expected effect and she needs something else, but your vet will know best.
Good luck and watch out for those batteries!

It is a side effect. Here is some information:
Morphine is a well-known drug used to alleviate pain. It is derived from the opium plant, which contains a naturally occurring substance found to relieve pain.
The body contains various opiate receptors involved in pain detection and regulation. Morphine acts on certain receptors, primarily mu receptors, resulting in analgesia (pain relief).
Morphine affects various body functions. Dogs and cats may vomit after administration. Dogs usually defecate immediately following injection. Panting may also occur.
If necessary, the effects of the drug can be reversed with administration of naloxone.
Morphine should be used with extreme caution in cats. The enzyme that helps metabolize morphine is deficient in cats, which results in potential brain and spinal cord stimulation.
All morphine products are prescription and class II [[rol||controlled substances|These are drugs with the potential for substantial medical benefit but also human abuse. Accordingly the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Drug Enforcement Agency of the United States (and similar regulatory agencies in other countries) strictly control these drugs. Controlled drugs are classified into categories (“schedules”) based on abuse potential. These drugs require prescription by a veterinarian with an appropriate DEA license, and any refills are tightly controlled and regulated.]]. Its use is stringently regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Morphine is a prescription drug and can only be obtained from a veterinarian or by prescription from a veterinarian.
This drug is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration but it is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug.
Definately called the vet.

I would take her back to the vet. She might be having an allergic reaction to the morphine.

For sure she got effects from the medicine. Try to give her more water and see if she gets better, if not, have to see a vet again!

They could be. If it was me, I would just call the vet that treated her, and tell them her symptoms, and they will tell you, if it's normal or if she needs to be seen again. I hope the poor thing feels better. Poor baby must be so miserable.
