My Yorkie puppy is sick: lethargic, vomiting, and won't eat.

Question

I have a yorkie pup. She's not a year old yet but will be in November. She is a very hyper dog but starting yesterday all she does is lay around, vomit, and she refuses to eat. I was wondering what I could do to help her and get her back to normal. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 9 months and 8 days old | 4.7 lbs

Poor Ollie! These are very concerning signs. If she's acting lethargic, vomiting, and not eating, I would be worried that something is seriously wrong - especially if this has been going on since yesterday with no improvement. I'm afraid this is really not a situation for home remedies - she really needs to see a vet right away to find out what the problem is. Some common possible causes of these symptoms in a young dog like Ollie would include parvo (if she isn't fully vaccinated), an intestinal obstruction due to something she swallowed, or ingestion of something toxic. She will quickly become dehydrated if she's vomiting and can't keep anything down, so there's really nothing you can do at home to help her - I would strongly recommend taking her to an emergency vet today. The vet can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment right away depending on what is found.
