Help! My dogs are getting sick!

Our lab (5 years old) started throwing up this morning, and now our Schnauzer (13 years old) is sick too. They are also lethargic and cranky. Daniel (five months old) isn't throwing up but he isn't eating his food. I'm off to do more research but does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? They all seemed fine last night. I'm esp. worried about our lab because she has a really strong stomach and almost nothing makes her sick.
Thanks.

Can you retrace their steps today? Could they have gotten into something? Do they have temps? What do you feed?

Like Bosely said...try and retrace their steps. Do they eat the same food?...drink the same water...did you go to a river or pond to go swimming?....Did your dogs drink maybe even out of a puddle?

Nothing out of the ordinary. I can't find anything they may have gotten into. They haven't been out of their usual environment either. The lab gets Hill's Science Diet Adult Large Breed Light and the Schnauzers gets Hill's Science Diet W/D (Rx food). The pup gets Hill's Science Diet Large Breed Puppy and the other two dogs in our house get Hill's Science Diet Adult Light.

I would take the food away and replace it with either a turkey with rice or chicken with rice. See is they eat that. The dogs don't have the runs too do they?.....and what are they throwing up?..is it food, or yak?

No diarrhea - yet. The pup seems to be feeling better and the Schnauzer is worse. Both the schnauzer and lab are willing to eat their chicken treats (ingredients = just chicken) but nothing else.

The lab hasn't moved from her spot on the floor for five hours. Her respirations are 18 a minute and her capillary refill time is 3 seconds. Couldn't get a good pulse and she just wanted to be left alone.
