My pitbull is throwing up, drinking, and peeing a lot. What's wrong?

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 6 months old | 55 lbs

I have a 4 year old pitbull and she's had frequent regurgitation for the past 3 weeks. She urinates a lot more and very easily, sometimes she can't hold it. Her bowel movements are still the same, she has the same amount of energy, but she also drinks a lot more water and doesn't want to eat as much. When it first began I took her in to see the vet and she did have a fever so he gave her a vaccine and prescribed her antibiotics for the vomit. I'm starting to think it's something else.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Serenity. You did the right thing by taking her into the vet when this first started. This behavior is concerning, and you may be right that there is something else going on. I'd take her back into the vet for bloodwork and a urinalysis. Call the vet tomorrow to make her an appointment. I hope this helps!
