My Daschund has hives and has been vomiting.?
Yesterday morning I noticed my daschund had a few hives on her snout. They went away by that afternoon but today she has more hives that are bigger and are all over. She has also vomited 3 times since about 11am this morning. She did get into the cats dry food but only ate a few mouthfuls. She has drank water but will not eat and acts like she feels pretty bad. Do I need to get her to the vet or give it until the morning to see if she is better?

If you dog is allergic to something in the cat food, a few mouthfuls may be more than enough to produce a reaction.
If she's vomited up the offending food, she will most likely be alright, but only a Vet can really be sure.
Keep her out of the cat food, that's for sure.
I can't say anything for sure as I am not there to examine your dog but it sounds like she is having a moderate to sever allergic reaction.
Since the hives started on her nose then I would say it is from a bite or sting of some sort.
You need to get her to the vet as soon as possible as this can be fatal.
Most likely they will give her an injection of epinephrine and/or adrenaline, maybe some other medications depending on her stability and the type of reaction.
Sounds like an allergic reaction, she needs to be seen. Sometimes with a reaction there is a possibility of the airways swelling so make sure she isn't having any trouble breathing. Dachshund are very sensitive so I wouldn't take any chances.
Ahhh that's so sad. It sounds like shes in a lot of pain...I'd think the only thing you can do at this point is to put her down...I can't stand to see animals hurt.
She might be having an allergic reaction and sometimes those can be serious I would take her in as soon as you can.
well if you like your dog you should prolly get it checked out if not she could be dead by morning
