Your pet sounds very ill. A lump on her neck could be a swollen lymph node. She could have a bacterial or fungal infection, immune mediated condition, or even neoplasia (lymphoma) has to be considered. I would highly suggest taking her in to see your local vet for an exam and diagnostic testing to determine the underlying cause. Once we know what is going on with her internally, then we will know how best to treat her condition. At the very least the vet can examine her, see if she is stable, and get her on anti-vomit medication and potentially antibiotics if an infection is suspected.
