Based on the bloodwork, there may be an infection. Based on the symptoms of vomiting and weight loss, there could be lots of things causing this, such as intestinal foreign body or obstruction, IBD, cancer, among other things. The next step for diagnostics would probably be x-rays and/or an ultrasound. If I was the vet, I would get pretty serious about figuring out what is going on because 10kg weight loss in a dog that wasn't on a diet is pretty drastic.
