My chihuahua is shaking, sick, and won't eat or drink. What's wrong?

If Paco got into the trash, he certainly could have eaten something that has caused him to vomit. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

It could be Suzy has a bit of diarrhea, and I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Poor Zeus! The shaking can be a sign of pain, which would cause him to not eat or drink. He could be in pain from an injury, such as a torn ligament or muscle, or he could be in pain from an illness or infection. If he had a foreign body stuck in his GI tract, for example, that would be painful and cause him to not want to eat or drink. I think it would be a good idea to take him into your vet today for an exam given how quickly his symptoms appeared. Your vet can determine what has caused him to have these symptoms, and how best to treat it.

I am sorry that Chico is not feeling well. You could try feeding him a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice incase he is more interested in that than his dog food. However, it is possible he is not eating if he is nauseous from being dizzy. Dogs can have vestibular disease, where they loose the balance, and this can make them nauseous and not want to eat. I would recommend keeping him comfortable in a warm safe place until you can get him to the vet in the morning. However, if at any time you think he is having trouble breathing or in pain I would recommend a 24 hour emergency clinic this evening. Hope the feels better soon

That does make things a bit concerning, but I can give you a home remedy for Nessa to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.

I'm sorry that Tiny is not feeling well. If this has just started today and there are no other symptoms of illness, you could try enticing her to eat with some plain boiled chicken and white rice or with the canned version of the diet she is already used to eating. If she doesn't start eating and drinking in the next 12 to 24 hours, I would recommend getting her to your regular veterinarian for an exam. If this has been going on for more than 24 hours at this point, especially if she's experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, I would recommend a vet visit as soon as possible. Small dogs are especially susceptible to low blood sugar and dehydration if they don't eat and drink for extended periods of time.

Poor Ava sounds pretty sick, and she may have a stomach illness. She could be trembling because she has a fever, and I'm concerned that she's not eating much. Try feeding her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
