Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | spayed | 3 years and 10 months old

My dog is throwing up and won't keep food down. She just lays down sad and doesn't want to eat. She was tested for parvo and it was negative.

Poor Charlie! It's great that she doesn't have parvo, but if she can't keep food down and keeps throwing up, she could have a severe GI illness, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I would take her back into the vet now. She will need a shot to stop the vomiting, and IV fluids for hydration. If the vet hasn't done x-rays to check for a foreign body, I think it would be a good idea for those to be done.
