Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach. With your description I would strongly suggest having her examined by a veterinarian as an emergency. If she ate something toxic this needs to be addressed immediately. I hope she improves and gets better soon! The sooner you take Chichi to the vet the better as she could have eaten something potentially fatal.
