My three year old standard poodle is not eating peeing or pooping ... she started vomiting solids and now is vomiting bile . Also seems to have hard time breathing while standing what could be wrong ... she ate hotdogs and maybe some onions peppers and put the garbage what could be wrong ? What should I do first at home now before I take her to vet in morning .

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Khaleesi could be very dehydrated from losing fluids through vomiting. If she is having a hard time breathing, I would recommend having a veterinarian examining her sooner than in the morning. She may have a severe case of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) from eating all of that food and may need to be hospitalized for treatment. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction and hope that Khaleesi gets better soon! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
