Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 17 years and 11 months old | 15 lbs
8yr old mini schnauzer; rapid breathing, vomiting, lethargic; just started today. What do I do? Is it a stomach virus? She still poops and peed. She is completely not herself. Won’t come when I call her. Really worried. She has never been like this.

These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
