Why is my bulldog lethargic, vomiting, panting, and not eating?

Question

My 3 year old bulldog has been lethargic, vomiting small amounts of undigested food, licking lips, snapping non-aggressive quite a bit, yawning regularly. I noticed heavy panting that seemed excessive for what we were doing, avoiding physical play which is normally the opposite, not wanting to eat and she was an obsessively food motivated dog when we adopted her 6 months ago. It's not intense sickness that I was thinking emergency vet, but was planning on making an appointment in the morning. Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Female | spayed | 50 lbs

I do think something is wrong and should be investigated as soon as possible. I generally recognize illness as more serious if it's causing a very food motivated dog to stop eating and if there are lethargy and breathing changes. Bulldogs are more predisposed to developing aspiration pneumonia as well so this is a big concern if Layla continues vomiting. I would have her seen by a veterinarian ASAP.
