I'm sorry Poppy isn't doing well! She sounds like she is very sick at the moment, and it's important to look at her quality of life in determining if it's time to let her go. Given that she hasn't eaten or drank in five days, vomits, and can't walk, I would say that her quality of life is quite low. It wouldn't be fair to leave her in this condition, so I'd recommend taking her into a vet immediately to discuss if it's time to let her go. Best of luck, and I'm sorry you are facing this decision.
