I'm so sorry that Bailee is so sick. It sounds like she needs to see a veterinarian immediately. If you know for sure that she got into a plant, you can contact the ASPCA poison control (https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control) which will help your veterinarian treat her. If you're not sure that she got into a plant, I would take her to your nearest emergency vet today. Puppies can get very sick from a number of different diseases and will get sicker faster than adult dogs. Puppies can quickly have problems getting dehydrated, having low blood sugar and having problems regulating their temperature when they get sick. Unfortunately, it can become very serious very quickly, so I would recommend seeking veterinary care right away. Good luck! I hope Bailee recovers quickly. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
