Hello,

I would recommend taking Chip into a veterinarian as soon as possible. Dull behavior, weight loss, and vomiting are signs of serious disease. I worry that cancer or organ failure is possible. Small animals will also become dehydrated more quickly, and this can make the disease worse.
Your vet can guide you best once they have performed a physical exam.
