My dog has diarrhea, dry nose, warm ears, not eating. Vet or wait?

Question

Hi, My dog has got liquid faeces, dry nose and very warm ears. She is still drinking water, but in small amounts, but not eating at all. What would be the best course of action? Should I take her to the vets to be checked over? Or wait 24 hours to see if it's a 24 hour bug? Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female

Your information doesn't say how old she is. If a young puppy then I would go in immediately. If an adult, then fasting food for 12 hours, then offering a bland diet of Boiled chicken and rice. If she won't eat, if she begins vomiting, or if there is blood in her bowel movement then she should be seen. Or at any time if she seems to be getting worse. I hope she improves soon.
