Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 5 years and 5 months old | 12 lbs
My dog, a Chihuahua, has been sick for a couple days. She has been throwing up and having diarrhea. Today her throw up and poop are red, and I can’t be sure if it’s Blood or not. She’s barely drinking and has no appetite. She is very depressed

Poor Ellie! The animal she ate may have given her an infection, or have previously ingested rat poison (which caused it to be easier to catch). Rat poison prevents blood from clotting normally, so bleeding internally can occur. I recommend having Ellie seen by her vet right away. There are emergency clinics that are open 24 hours/day in most towns/cities. I hope all is well!
