My dog can't pee, is throwing up, and panting. Is it an emergency?

Question

Today my pet Lola woke up acting a little aggressive towards my other pets. She is trying to pee but nothing comes out. upto this morning she ate, but now she is throwing up, and she is panting (a little). she doesn't seem in pain. she is still wagging her tail and she is squatting constantly, but no sign of urine. (no trace of blood in her urine from previous days). Pet's info: Dog | Pekingese | Female | spayed | 5 years and 2 months old | 3 lbs

Lola sounds ill, and it's quite concerning that she is squatting constantly to pee with nothing coming out. That can be a sign of bladder stones, and if these bladder stones are blocking her urethra, it is a medical emergency. A blocked urethra can lead to the bladder rupture. She could also be suffering from a UTI. Panting is a sign of pain in dogs, so if Lola is panting, I would believe that she is in pain. Based on her symptoms, it would be best if she was seen by a vet immediately. I would take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.
