I have noticed we have had no reply from you since you posted your question and concern a few days ago, so just checking in to see if things are ok and whether you got your dog to the vet. Tony

I totally agree with Karla, your dog needs to go to a vet for diagnosis, sooner rather than later. In addition to Karla asking about the age of your dog, have you noticed whether your dog has bad breathe? Is she able to walk around ok? Does she go outside without support or assistance, to urinate/poop, when she needs to? Tony

Welcome Marmom...We have no way to diagnose your dog on a public forum....From your brief description, it sounds as if your dog is very ill....Whether it's live threatening or not is beyond our means of helping you.....

You don't mention what age your girl is or how long this has been going on.......If this is a puppy, then "Parvo Virus" comes to mind which can be fatal.....If this is an older dog, then Kidney or Liver disease is possible.....

Dehydration alone (From the vomiting & diarrhea) can be fatal....

Other possibilities are Poisons, Parasites, Tick Disease, Cushings Disease, Blockage, etc. There are just too many things that it could be.....Not all of them are life threatening, but you must have a Vet diagnose & treat her......She sounds as if she's very sick & must be miserable.....Please, get her to your Vet (Today, before the holiday) so you can ease her discomfort, No matter what it is!......

Don't let this go any longer......Let us know what you find out as it can help others on this forum......Make the call, now......I hope she's OK....Good luck, Karla
