Hi I was thinking the same thing Joan.. him leaving. I did not read any place saying if she is drinking water. If she is throwing up, she will need some water/fluids or you can try ice cubes. Sometimes they will lick the ice.
does she have diarrhea? Please make sure some how she gets fluids in her. Shanna & Ricky Las Vegas Nevada!! My Chi Ricky...

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, April 7, 2011, 7:35 PM Hi, Does this happen right after you leave for Iraq? She may be so very attached to you that she is missing you. Your dear wife might be very stressed and worried about you and other issues that she is taking on because you are not there. Mia can pick up on stress with her Mommy and also she can be stressed because she doesn’t know where her Daddy is. I don’t know that this is the answer, and I am sure that you will receive other ideas by people on this group. Good luck, Joan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aerobat007 Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Mia, 13 year throwing up not eating..... Mia is our 13 year old, female, long-haired Chi. She has been the best dog one could ever ask for. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. She has the swweetest disposition and loves people. She has been a loyal companion for every bit of her 13 years. So, Im doing ANYTHING I can to try and find anyone who may be able to help. It started last year after she had an emergency Spay surgery because her ovaries almost exploded. She made it through okay and seemed fine for a week after, then BAm, she nose dived. Vets couldnt find anything wrong and my wife wass beside herself thinking we have to put her down. It didnt make sense to me so I combed the internet (from Iraq) for hours and finally found a blog, in England, where a simular thing happened to a woman there. Turns out after a second test, prompted by me that she had Pancreatitis. So, after a near death experience and anit-biotics and Steroids she bounced back very, very well. Started to play again the whole nine. Well Im back in Iraq and she is throwing up and wont eat. Seems to be throwing up undigested food. Vet says all vitals and tests are normal. Shes down to just 3 teeth, but vet looked and saw no swelling, redness, etc. My wife is again worried about her quality of life and doesnt know what to do. The vet, seemingly grasping at straws, is recommending a different anti-biotic. Does anyone have any insights or experiences which could help us with figuring out what is wrong with our poor little loyal dog? She deserves to be taken care of to the fullest extent, but we dont want her QOL compromised any longer than needs be. Please help if you think you can.
