Hon,  some things can't be handled at home.  If your baby is not getting better, then you have to see a VET.  Some vets will take payments call yours and ask.

I would advise exactly the same thing. You must take her to the vet immediately.
Could she have eaten any toxic plants out there? Puppies chew on lots of things, and it's possible what appears to be a harmless garden plant could have affected her if she'd eaten it.
There was a long list of plants toxic for dogs online which I found once but did not keep. I'll try and find it again and post back.
In the meantime -get her to the vet quickly.
