I would recommend taking Roxy to the vet today. Schnauzers are a breed prone to developing Addison's disease, which could be life-threatening if left untreated. Another possible cause could be hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, which can also cause death. There are a few other causes, including pancreatitis and diabetes, and routine blood work should be able to determine if this may be the case. https://www.petcoach.co/article/addison-s-disease-hypoadrenocorticism-in-dogs/ https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/hemorrhagic-gastroenteritis/
