maltese pup not eating and veru lethargic

My 8 week old maltese pup has not been eating. She is very lethargic and is making sounds that may be wheezing. I fed her goat milk and she drank it from a bottle but threw up after. Since the milk she is walking around but still not strong. Are these symptoms of something serious?

I hope you took your puppy to the vet.  Wheezing can indicate pneumonia, and puppies that won't eat can become hypoglycemic.

YES.

Get her to an emergency vet right now.  A tiny puppy can sicken and die extremely quickly.  

See the sticky at the top of the forum page.  Emergencies need to be dealt with right away.  It can sometimes take a day or two for Dr. Cheng to see entries here.  

Please take her to a vet right away, if you haven't already.
