Your dog should be seen by your vet as soon as possible. Your dog is more than likely suffering from some kind of gastrointestinal upset, some toxic exposure, bacterial infection or other disorder. Your vet will do an exam, labwork and possibly x-rays to determine the reason for your pet's illness and get her started on treatment.
