Poor Bady! She needs to see the veterinarian today as she is very sick. There are several different conditions that will look like this including diabetic ketoacidosis, cancer, stroke, hyperthyroidism, infection, severe kidney disease or electrolyte in balance. These conditions all require treatment and are best addressed early on for the best potential outcome. The doctor will perform a physical exam and some bloodwork which will help to figure out the cause. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
