3 dogs not eating

We have three dogs- 2 Great Danes and a Basset Hound. Our girl Vida is a 10 year Dane and some months ago got an infection and nearly died. The cause was never really established but we believe taking them to the Dog Park was the source so once she recovered, we stopped that. Two weeks ago a family friend had the Danes for the weekend and took them to the park. Monday night, Vida exhibited the same signs as last time---very lethargic and NO appetite. After the vets visit, she was diagnosed with Bodatella (hope I spelled correctly). We have her home and she seems to be ok but no appetite still. I boiled a chicken and made a rice/chicken mixture for her -- giving my Basset Hound (she eats EVERYTHING) scraps. I guess I gave the Basset too much because I heard her vomit last night. This morning, my boyfriend was irate with me because she got sick in several places. I felt horrible but stressed I didn't give her THAT much. Got home from work today and now my Basset and the other Dane(4 years old ans super healthy) are all lethargic and neither ate anything tonight. I am freaking out, to say the least! The older Dane actually came downstairs for water, though (which was a good sign)

Help!

Agree with Karla and glad the dog is going to the Vet.
Perhaps they are ingesting something at the dog park you aren't aware of.  Is this a City park that gets sprayed?  
Check the food you are feeding and make sure it is not bad or expired.
Friend of mine went through something similar and discovered mold in the dog food.

Could be a virus and maybe the Vet has seen other cases.

Please keep us posted.

Something is amiss here....Bordetella Is "Kennel Cough" and is normally diagnosed because of the intense cough....Can turn into a respiratory infection, so normally antibiotics are given ALONG with cough meds., just incase.....
That doesn't sound like what your dog has at all......
Since all 3 seem to feel bad, I'd look more towards what all three have eaten....Not the chicken and rice, it should be fine.....More along the lines of something each of them got at the other house OR what your feeding at yours....Maybe a new treat or such.....
I would continue to feed all 3 chicken & rice starting tomorrow......Let them rest tonight.....If they continue to go downhill in the next 2-3 days, then a Vet visit is in order.....Good luck to you and let us know how it's going....Karla
