My dog is sick. Any suggestions of what it is?

My dog is vomiting, has no fever(but that's not certain, the thermometer is old), but she won't eat and that isn't likely of her. She's 5-and-a-half months and she is a long-haired miniature chihuahua. This has only been a few days but I'm worried sick. A week ago her brother got sick, but he got better. I got sick, and after, she got sick. I have tried Philistine and  Ibuprofen. She's been lethargic and drinking frequently. She also has drainage in her eyes. Thank you so much for your time.

Did you also give your other dog Ibuprofen...?
If so, please talk to your vet about it.

Please do not wait for others to reply.
Ibuprofen can kill your dog....
Do not wait until tomorrow to get her to the vet....She needs to go today, even if it is after hours.
It has been an hour since my first post....I am hoping that you are at the vets office.
Let me know how your dog is doing....thanks,
Connie

One more thing...please do not think this can be managed at home, by simply stopping the Ibuprofen. Your dog will most likely need to receive I.V. treatment, to flush the kidneys, and remove any remaining Ibuprofen from her system.
You Must take her to the vet.
Let us know how she is doing...Thanks

You need to immediately stop giving your dog Ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen can be extremely toxic to your dog , and the symptoms your dog is displaying, could be caused from the ibuprofen.
Your dog may have suffered kidney damage...and you need to get her to the vet immediately. You need to tell the vet that you have been giving your dog Ibuprofen and Philistine.
Please...Get her to a vet ASAP...
I apologize if this reply seems abrupt, but...you need to get her to a vet now.
