Talk to your vet about what to do. Do not get her an abortion shot, as this can lead to uterine infections. If you're not planning on using her for breeding, you can get her spayed once she goes out of heat. If she does get pregnant and you let her carry the litter, you may need to schedule a C-section to deliver the puppies so they don't get stuck since she is so little.

You need to take her to a vet IMMEDIATELY, and have her spayed. Even though it's going to be an abortion if there are embryos developing, she will die trying to give birth because the puppies may develop the large heads of a Pekignese. Worse, she and the puppies will die during labor because the pups will probably get stuck trying to come through the birth canal, and it may rupture or tear, causing a hemmorhage that can kill her.
Please get her spayed within the next couple of weeks, because if you don't soon, some vets may refuse to do it late in the pregnancy. Keep in mind she'll only be pregnant for 9 weeks before giving birth.
Good luck.
P.S. Some may tell you to ask for a C-section, but this is dangerous for a chihuahua. It can be done, but with the trauma of having a larger breed mixed with the pups and her low weight, she may not wake up from the anesthesia.

at ten months old you should have gotten her spayed a while back ago, especially if she were going to be around an un-neutered male dog. chihuahuas have a hard time giving birth without vet assistance. Were you plannig on breeding her with other chihuahuas? Or did you just not get around to it, this is what is called responsible pet ownership they depend on us to protect them from these things. All you can do is take her into the vet and either way its going to be pretty expensive, i just had my 4 month old scottie neutered and it was over 150.00, a spaying i'm guessing would be quite a bit more since its more invasive.

First of all there's no such thing as a tea cup chihuahua who ever told you there was lied to you. 4 to 6 pounds is average for chihuahua I have two and ones 4 pounds and the other is 5 pounds. If your dog has pups you may need a vet to deliver them. Then please spay her so that she can never have unwanted pups again.
Good luck to you.

She is too young, take her to the vet and have him spay her and the problem is gone.
