My dog vomited all night and another lost consciousness. Poison?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

I want to know if someone is trying to poison our pets, one dogs was puking all night and the other just lost consciousness and went limp like she was dead. I shook her till she woke up she seems fine now but I honestly thought she was dying

That sounds serious! Even though yournone dog seems okay now I would recommend taking her to a vet right away - she may have had a seizure or have heart disease or low blood sugar. While there are toxins that can cause vomiting and toxins that can cause neurologic symptoms like loss of consciousness it is not very likely that someone is deliberately poisoning your dogs without your knowledge. I’d recommend seeing a veterinarian to have both dogs evaluated.
