Be responsible! Take her to the vet, and if you're not taking her because you can't afford it, maybe getting a puppy wasn't the right choice for you! Anytime a PUPPY is sick, it's a big deal and should always be taken care of immediately. If she is vomiting, remove food n water and keep her comfy, after about 4 hrs, reintroduce her to water and see how her tummy handles it. If she keeps it down, SLOWLY reintroduce her to food, or maybe give her pedilyte...a vet is your BEST course of action if you care for this puppy and are responsible. Good luck

She is looking skinny because she is dehydrating. Best thing to do is to get her to a Vet. ASAP.
I don't know if I would try to give her anything by mouth because she may continue to vomit.
I work for a Vet. Have for about 16 years. I think if you can't get her in at least call and get some advise from someone who can really her you and your puppy.
Best wishes to you both.

Take her to the vet!!! NOW!!! the first sign that a pet is ill is that they stop eating so just take the puppy to the vet before it´s to late.

Give her some karo syrup, honey or better nutrical if you have it. Chihuahuas can get low blood sugar(hypoglycemia) and die very quickly from it. If she isn't eating, her sugar is going to hit bottom and you will lose her. She really should go to the ER vet NOW!!! Poor baby.

How long has she been throwing up? If she is losing weight that dramatically drop everything and take her to vet. She is very important. She could have swallowed something that is stuck in there.
GO TO THE VET!!!!!!

She may have eaten some sort of poison. Have you any rat poison pellets laying about the place? Better take her to the Vet just in case.

You might want to get her checked at by a vet. I could be a simple reaction to her food or it could be something serious like parvo or distemper.

she may have eaten something that she wasnt suppose to and is now blocked, or an even more likely reason is she may have parvo. In any case you need to get her to her vet as soon as possible!!!!
