My dog is vomiting, won't eat, drooling, and lethargic. What to do?

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Female | spayed | 130 lbs

My dog is non-active, won't eat, has excessive drooling, looks sad and is definitely not herself. She also can't keep food down. I checked the internet and it said to check the gum color. It was darker red that usual but not to bad. What is wrong with her and how can we help her. She is 6 years and a golden lab. She means the world to my family and we want to keep her as long as we can.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting, drooling and inappetence can be observed with conditions such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. For this reason, I highly recommend that you have Peanut evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid she is likely becoming dehydrated. They would be able to check for these possibilities and also check her hydration status and give her medications to make her feel better. Good luck!
