Question
Hi I have a 8 month old chihuahua female...and she will not eat and only drink alittle, and she has little to no energy...and this morning she threw up and her stool was runny!?! We got a new puppy and yesterday she was fine...Als I believe that she might be pregnant and please do not ask me to abort them(unless thats her life threatening problem) If she is pregnant then its by her friend who is a toy chihuahua and all the puppies will have forever homes..my mom thinks she has worms...do you think that could be it..? Please help me I am VERY worried about my little girl!!

Unfortunately, I cannot diagnose what is wrong with your Chihuahua without the benefit of a physical exam.  The best thing for you to do is to take her to the veterinarian so that he/she can help you determine what is wrong with her. Because I have no medical history, I cannot diagnose her condition for you.
