dog wont eat or drink any water

took my 4 month old choc. lab to the vet for and emergency on sat she has a respitory infection, and was given antibiotics. its now monday and she wont eat or more importantly drink any water. we had to get a baby med. syringe and squirt antibiotic in the back of her throat. i dont know if that will even work. i am worried about dehydration. should i take her back to the vet? also she practically stand on all fours all night rarely lying down, and is still lethargic. any help would be great, thank you.

Yes sounds really serious i'd get right back to the vet ASAP. Sounds like it could even be bloat if she couldn't get comfortable all night. Please let us know how it goes after the visit.
