Hi,
Sorry to hear that your dog has been unwell, Membranes in her mouth and eyes if they start to turn yellow this usually indicates jaundice which is a Liver problem. This can be confirmed by a blood test to see if any levels are raised. If this is the case she will need a special diet to help alieviate the symptoms and medication too.
Intermittent vomiting, swollen abdomen, lethargy, very coloured urine are all symptoms.
I would recommend taking her for a blood test as a starting point.
Hope you get things sorted.
