my dog is sick?!? can anyone help?
she's a miniature yorkshire terrier. she's almost 4 years old and weighs 3 and a half pounds. she's usually just a normal dog..
tonight she started acting crazy! to any person in my family's knowledge, she has not eaten anything strange (or that a dog should not eat) and she's been doing the same things that she normally does!
but tonight she has been acting like she's almost disoriented! she can't stay still for more than 10 seconds in any position, she is sitting and laying in awkward positions, she keeps throwing up this foamy white stuff and sometimes little chunks of brown stuff that honestly looks like little pieces of cookie dough (but she has not gotten a hold of any!)
she has thrown up about 10 times now, all about half-dollar sizes, and she keeps pushing her body close against us. she'll come running or walking up to us very awkwardly and unusually for her, and then press her body so close to us she almost rolls over on herself!
she seems to be in constant pain because she is constantly squirming and changing her positions, although she has not been whimpering or making any sounds.
what is wrong with her??! i am freaking out! if anyone can pleaseee help that would be sooo much appreciated because i love her so much!
is this a situation where she needs to be taken to the vet immediately or do you think she will be okay overnight?? THANKS!
she's "fixed" so i don't think she can still be in heat can she?
Take her to the vet immediately. No one could possibly tell you whats wrong without looking at the dog. 1 vomit could wait. 10 can't.
Hope she's ok

Sounds like she chewed up something that's disagreeing with her system. If she's not better in the a.m., take her to the vet. Do not feed her, just let her have water. If you are really worried, there are emergency vet services, but be prepared to pay quite a bit. It's expensive.

Without being able to pinpoint a reason for her illness I would go to the Vet.
If you decide to wait, check for signs of dehydration or serious illness. Look for pale or discolored gums. Also, pull up a section of skin and see if it easily goes back into place. If it doesn't go to the e-vet.

Is her stomach swollen? Since she is vomiting and seems to be in pain it could be bloat. It is a very serious condition where the stomach fills up with gas, usually from eating too quickly and flips over twisting the intestines.
Factoring in the disorientation and lack of coordination, it could also be someting neurological. I think you should take her to a vet tonight if possible. It does sound like something life threatening, and you should not wait the morning.
