symptoms: lethargic, will eat, drinks water(dehydrated), throwing up, sleeping alot, warm dry nose, radiating heat from her body (can tell she has a temp), breathing hard and heavy (sometimes really fast and shallow), stinky gas...

anyone know if any of these are a result of something really bad or something really wrong with her?

thanks we brought her to the vet but they said nothing was wrong with her. she was sick for a couple of days after that but then got better as time went by... its been a couple of weeks and now the only thing wrong with her is that shes teething and loosing teeth (lots of blood is always in her mouth... from her new ones... she keeps biting her tongue) and she keeps chewing through her new harness but thats about all

Def go to your vet! Fever = infection somewhere she is trying to fight off.  Good Luck

If any animal has a temp so high that you can feel the heat radiating off of them, it is time to go to the vet!  

With the symptoms you listed there are any number of things it could be, from having caught a simple bug to a life threatening bowel obstruction (you don't mention whether or not she is defecating).  You need to have her seen ASAP!

It could also be a bowel obstruction.   She needs to be seen right away.

I would take her to the vet, soon as you can, because this could be an infection. It's better to take her now in case this gets any worse. The fact that she has a temperature indicates to me that it isn't just an upset tummy, but needs medical attention. Has she had all her shots? Tell the vet if she hasn't.
