Please take your dog to a vet as soon as possible. And if you have a 24-hour emergency vet clinic, it would be a good idea to call them and explain your situation. Since they deal with emergencies, they will be able to tell you whether to bring your dog in this minute or if you can wait until morning. I hope that she feels better soon. Good luck, keep us posted!

hate to say it but your dog is old and could be really sick and its a slim chance that it would be strong enough to take treatments for a bad illness so it would be best to get her put down and find another dog to have with you. . . it sounds like your replacing her but the new dog will help you through the pain.... all my dogs have been put down at between 8 and 11 years because they get to old and cant fight off illness as easy. . .
SORRY
ps. but in all fairness my dogs live with me on the farm so they are out runnin and gettin to stuff they prolly shouldn't... but it all depends on the dog... good luck

You need to make an appointment with the vet before you start thinking about euthanasia. She is a terrier so she is a small to medium breed and they can live to be 15,16 and sometimes even 17 years old...so hang in there and get her to the vet!

Take her to the vet and see what the vet has to say. I wouldn't even consider putting a dog down before I knew what was wrong with it..

Drinking tons of water signals a huge medical problem....she needs to be seen by a vet immediately!
Especially with the vomitting...she will die of dehydration!

Only your vet can make give you the suggestion to euthanize. BUT, she should see a vet for the vomiting and excessive drinking. That could actually be one of several medical conditions and be treatable. Diabetes, thyroid, liver, kidney, cancer, you won't know unless you see a vet.

Take her to a Vet to determine with the Vet what needs to be done to take care of her and to see if she needs to be put down or helped through a temporary illness.

I think you should take your dog to a vet. They will be able to determine if the dog needs a new diet, if her organs are in good working condition, and so forth. They will also be able to tell you, if euthanization is required at the time, or not.

Take her to a vet! There are so many things that could be wrong with her and the only way to find out would be to have her checked out.

Maybe she has a stomach bug she didn't get into any chocolate or you haven't been feeding her human food have you? Keep the dog eating Kibbles N Bits or whatever food she eats.
