It sounds as Piper 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.

No, you aren't worrying too much about Piper, and it is very concerning that she can't even keep down water. Due to that and the fact that she can't even keep down the antiemetic pills, she should see a vet immediately. She likely needs another shot to stop the vomiting and IV fluids for hydration. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

This is very concerning that she has a severe gastric ulcer. This can happen with certain medications, infections, or ingestion of certain poisons. I recommend that you take Piper to the vet for an evaluation and treatment as soon as possible, because Piper can lose a significant amount of blood through her gastrointestinal tract if not treated right away. I hope that helps.
