My dog won't eat, vomits, and lost weight. Is eating dry food okay?

Question

Gigi is off her food since about November. She started vomitting but the Vet could not find anything wrong after taking a blood test. She has lost quite some weight. I bought now Hills for Sensitive Stomach & Skin small & mini Adult. Gigi will eat this at times dry out of my hand. Later she will drink lots of water, but will not eat it wet. She hardly eats other food as well. When she eats this she has no runny tummy. Is this a problem because she's eating it dry? Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | spayed | 13 years and 7 months old | 12 lbs

More testing needs to be done to find out what is going on. You cannot allow her to continue to barely eat food. I suggest x-rays and/or abdominal ultrasound as the next steps in finding out what is going on.
