    I don't know what could be causing the sickness, but in a small breed dog like that, you not only have to worry about dehydration, you need to worry about hypoglycemia. I would personally get her back into a vet, even if it's an emergency vet. It could turn bad very, very quickly. The listlessness is an extremely worrying sign.
    I agree with this, I'd worry about the listlessness and get help right away. Good luck, I'll be thinking of you, as an animal lover, I know it's no fun when they are sick. Take Care :heart:
  • Is your pup lying on tiles in the kitchen a lot since she has been sick? How has the vomit looked like?
    no shes lying in bed with me (i have a similer illness) vet reckons its a coinsidance as we dont share food.
    its been white and frothy,no food content in it.
    i dont feed her any of our food,she has her own dog treats but with 2 young kids its not to hard to get hold of something she shouldnt have though my kids do not intensionally give her there food she scanvengers lol

    Hope she is feeling better! We have a Chiahuahua also and she has a very sensitive stomach and gets sick very easily. Keeping my fingers crossed! :)

    Please don't wait to bring her back to the vet!! At least call them and tell the vet she is getting worse and she is listess. That sounds bad to me. I have had 4 dogs over the years and have never seen that. I hope and pray she is ok. All the best.
  • thank you everybody:flowerforyou: i think after the vets take her off this special diet i will keep on rice and chicken for abit, i know chihuahuas i prone to stomach upsets y this is why i only feed her foods designed for dogs but something more than likely slipped threw the net
    her temperature is gone down now too and shes not passing up on going for a walk so i think shes on the mend lots of extra love for my baby and hopefully the vets will be happy with her tomorrow
  • thank you, she went back this morning and theres improovment xx

    That's great news to see - it's always reassuring when they're peeing-pooing-drinking-eating as normal :love:

    hiya people my dog, a 6 month old chihuahua started throwing up last night (its 10.30 pm in england right now) and was sick 6 times threwout the night.
    her shots,worming and treatments are all up to date
    anyway took her straight to the vets this morning she was checked for obstruction and nothing could be felt but she has a temperature, she was given 2 rounds of anti sickness shots and 2 sets of oral medicine and instructions to withold food for 24 hours and sent home untiil tommorrow when she goes back to the vets.
    she hasnt been sick since but is wretching and visibly still feeling sick
    now this is the worrying part in herself shes worse since this morning lying there listless eyes open not even wanting to lay on me which is unusual normaly cant get her off me now could this be no energy due to no food?
    .does anyone have any ideas what is wrong or someone whos had a dog who was having the same symptoms and what was it?
    basically if shes no better tommorow shes going to be admitted and x-rayed to check for an obstuction that way (incase they missed something when they were doing her examination toda)y but i would love to know if anyone has been something similer and what the outcome was,im worried sick and chewing over what could be wrong anyone exsperiance would help xxx

    My mini schnauzer had the same symptoms last summer. It was due to eating something in the yard (still not sure what) and it caused him to get really sick. We even had to hook him up to IV's due to dehydration. Hope everything turns out fine with her
  • hiya everyone thank you for everyones concern, my pup is well and back to normal, still on meds and gone fussy on her food but all is well :smile: thanks everyone xx
