Her stomach is swollen and everytime she moves she cries and she threw up this morning and she's weak and she's been sleeping off and on the whole day. This whole month she's been eating a lot of grass. She's about a year and 2 months old and an English Springer Spaniel. When she's not asleep, she's over excited and bites a lot and tries to wrestle and play fight and chew up stuff. She's usually really good. What's wrong with her?

OK, now I think she's feeling better, but I'm taking her to the vet's just to be safe.

Thanks a lot... almost everyone was a great help. It's going to be really hard picking a best answer.

Get her to a vet IMMEDIATELY. Your dog is obviously in pain, and a swollen stomach is VERY bad.
I have to say it sounds uncomfortably like a GDV (twisted stomach) which can happen to dogs who are too excitable after eating. It can be fatal quickly. It might not be that, but I can guarantee it's not good and warrants emergency treatment, so do not delay any longer.

Why hasn't she seen the vet? If she's crying when she moves she's in PAIN ! It is illegal to allow a pet to suffer. Take her to the vet or call your local animal shelter for help. If you can't afford a vet, you may have to sign the dog over, but at least she will either get help or stop suffering.
How can you see your dog in pain and not help her?
Even a vet can't diagnose your dog via email !!! Except to say stop letting her suffer !

take her to the vet immediately!!!!! it sounds like she may have a bloated stomach or a twisted stomach. both of these are fatal unless treated by a vet! and that usually means emergency surgery. call your vet and tell them the symptoms...it may already be too late.... Hurry!

take your dog to the vet and be gentle,,, I had a dog that kidneys failed, that happened about 5 months ago, when we took it to the vet the vet saved its life. Not sure if that is happening to your dog probably not though. Just be gentle around it until you take it to the vet.

She may have bloat-the stomach twists and dies off-or she may have a small blockage. Have the vet do a check up and see.
