Hi, I think my pet is depressed but I'm not 100% sure. Shes been eating alot more and with sometimes just throw it right back up, she's been sleeping a lot more , and she doesn't play as much with our other dogs. She also keeps licking her paws, constantly and her paws aren't dry or wounded.

It sounds more like she is sick and not depressed. Eating a lot, lethargy and throwing up and not good signs. They are non-specific signs; meaning there are many different ailments that can cause these signs so I cannot tell you what is going on. She needs a vet exam and maybe some blood testing/x-rays. Licking the paws is probably an allergy and not related to the other symptoms. I suggest you get her to a vet for an examination.
