Poor Lady! It sounds like something is definitely wrong. These are very concerning symptoms, but unfortunately they are also very vague and could be caused by almost any kind of serious illness. Some possible causes would include liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, pyometra (a life-threatening uterine infection that is common in unspayed female dogs), or ingestion of something toxic. I'm afraid this sounds like it may be a life-threatening problem, so I would really recommend taking Lady to an emergency vet immediately for an exam. He/she can do some diagnostic testing if needed to help determine what's wrong and get her started on appropriate treatment for her illness.

It could be kidney failure. Without blood testing you will not be able to know for sure. I actually think it is more likely she has a pyometra since she is not spayed and based on the signs you described. A pyometra is a severe uterine infection that can be life-threatening. You really need to get her to a vet ASAP. ( https://vcahospitals.com/lynnfield/know-your-pet/pyometra-in-dogs )

Joe sounds very ill, and the best thing you can do for her is take her into a vet immediately. It's quite serious that she keeps throwing up, has lost weight, is very lethargic, and hardly poops. These can be signs of a foreign body, which is fatal without treatment. Labs are notorious for eating things they should not, so this would be at the top of my differentials list. Other causes can include pancreatitis, a severe GI illness, or pyometra. Unspayed dogs are are risk of developing this life threatening infection of the uterus, which is also fatal without treatment. Joe needs to be seen now by a vet to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
