She should be seen by your vet. Vomiting and diarrhea is not normal.

Always a good idea to take to the vet. Pure pumpkin in a can(not pumpkin pie mix)can be good for many digestive problems your dog might be having. Make sure she gets lots of water. Are all her shots up to date? I have a weimaraner who is over 80 pounds and is under 2 yrs old which means pretty active! I use a head collar(also called a gentle leader)to help control him and a dog backpack with water bottles for weight. Work on being her leader so you won't have problems controlling her when you have to. The dog whisperer is great for tips on doing this.

How old is your dog?
I would almost think it's parvo virus.
You need to find a way to take her to the vet.
she may have an infection, or eaten something she shouldn't have.
do not feed her if she is throwing up. this will make her dehydrate if she is already throwing up.
Ask your vet for someone to help you to get her there.
maybe you can drive her to the office, and someone can help you unload her?
if she is sick that means she may not be all that hard to handle.
good luck. I hope things work out.

My Pit Bull had the same symptoms. It could be something as trivial as her eating something that didn't agree with her ... to Parvo. A dog can still get Parvo, even though they've either had it already, or have already been immunized for it.
You must take her to the vet ... immediately. Find a male friend to assist you, if you have to. If it is Parvo, it can cause death very quickly ... and time is running out. Please, find a way to get her to the vet ... now.

I'd keep an eye on her (as I'm sure you already are) and monitor her to see if her condition worsens. As long as she's still eating and drinking, she should be okay, but it could be something more serious. If she starts to show signs of dehydration, you can try to give her some sports drink... but not too much.
If she's not better within the next day or so, I'd probably take her to the vet.

Diarrhea and vomiting.. Did you try cutting back on her food? Take the dog to the vet.. Don't give her praise of attention til she isn't acting hyper.. If you give her treats, talk to her, praise her, tell her ' it's okay ' or anything when she is acting hyper, you are encouraging her to act that way.. No attention when she acts inappropriately. Attention is attention if acting hyper gets it, then that's what she has learned..

Believe me, you can handle her if you have to. My dog is 70 pounds, and extremely hyper and nervous, and I can handle him (and I'm petite).
Put a couple different leads on her -- one on a harness, one on a collar. You can do it!
She needs to go to the vet -- there could be something seriously wrong.
Best of luck.

Take her to the vet.
(Does anybody have variations of this answer? Typing the same sentence day in, day out is getting monotonous. I am losing my faith in humanity. And my eyes have rolled so far back I can see behind me)

You have to find a way to get her to the vet, she could have a real serious problem. Or find a vet that makes housecalls.
