You need to take her to the vet. YES unfortunately cancer is a possibility- but it is more likely that she has eaten something that she was not supposed to- like a peice of a toy or a bone. If they get an intestinal blockage it can cause all of those symptoms- it could also be pancreatitis- common in any dog if they eat something fatty like steak, or really anything can cause it. Most things are treatable, but she is probably begining to get very dehydrated and being an older dog it is very important that you get her treated by the veterinarian. Dont wait any longer- both of you will feel better if you find out whats wrong.- good luck and I hope she feels better soon.

You need to get her to a vet ASAP. She could have a multitude of problems and it is impossible to diagnose an animal like this. Be careful what foods you are feeding her. Be sure you are not feeding the foods contaminated with the Chinese wheat gluten or now I hear rice gluten is included too. Only a vet can help you.

I would seriously look at the petfood recall list. Those are some of the symptons for them. If the food you have been feeding her is on the list, take her to an emergency clinic immediately!
If not, is she still drinking water? If she can hold some fluid, you might be able to wait until tomorrow to take her to your normal vet. If she isn't, take her to an emergency clinic.
Good luck!

Is there a reason that you guys come online for help instead of going to a QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL aka a VET. This is a living thing that needs help.

Get her to the vet NOW! If she keeps on like that, she will die of dehydration. If you can't get here there til morning, make sure she gets PLENTY of water between now and then. No food!

Take her to the vet?
Why do people always come on here with EMERGENCIES and waste time instead of calling a professional?!?!

You should probably take her to a vet before anything else. They should know exactly what to do.

Take her to a vet, you might have fed her tainted food.
