I am sorry to hear about Itty Bitty! In young dogs we worry especially about ingestion of foreign objects such as toys, socks, trash that can cause blockages. We also worry about ingestion of things outside that cause gastritis, and we do worry about parvo virus if they did not have their full series of vaccines (you mention she did finish her vaccines, so hopefully she is protected). Since she is lethargic and won't eat and drink I would recommend bringing her into the vet. They can examine her and may recommend an x-ray to ensure she doesn't have any signs of a blockage. They can give her injections to help with nausea and vomiting and any other treatment they feel necessary based on her examination.
