I am sorry to hear Pepper isn't feeling well. I recommend taking her to the vet to find out what's going on. It could be a GI virus or something like pancreatitis (very common for this breed). They may want to run blood work and X-rays. Either way, they will want to give fluids so she doesn't get dehydrated and start medication to get her feeling better. Good luck and kisses to Pepper!
