Dogs don't get morning sickness like humans do, so her recent vomiting is not likely to be from pregnancy. Common causes of vomiting in dogs includes dietary intolerance, dietary indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, IBD, pancreatitis, among others. I would recommend that you have Nancy checked out by a vet to see if there is a cause of he nausea and poor appetite. The vet may recommend diagnostics such as bloodwork or x-rays.
