My puppy is throwing up, not eating, and has diarrhea. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 30 days old

My dog Moka started throwing up since Friday at night, we thought it was just once but she did it for like 3 or 4 times, last night she threw up again and tonight i don't know if she will, today we tried feeding her but she didn't eat or drink anything. She's very light when i pick her up and she sleeps more than usual. Her feces was very watery today also.

It sounds as Moka is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
