My 8-week Schnauzer puppy is vomiting, not eating. Should I see a vet?

Question

I have an 8 week old Schnauzer and she started throwing up yesterday. She is not eating and is drinking very minimal water. She used the restroom normal yesterday, but did not use it this morning. What could cause this? Do we need to take her to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 5 days old

It sounds as Frio is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
