Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 4 years and 3 months old | 6 lbs

My Chihuhua was fine last night, until this morning She was spinning slowly around in circles and crashing into everything. She was also foaming at the mouth and shaking. I took her to the emergency and they did some tests, and gave her activated charcoal along with some other things We got back home and started searching for things that were chewed up and found nothing She's been calm ever since we got back but a few minutes ago, the shaking and foaming returned Shes not coming when i call her

Oh no, poor Chloe! If this shaking and foaming has returned, she needs to see a vet again now. It may be that she needs hospitalization to control her symptoms and treat her. Please take her back into the vet right away.
