Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mini. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian today. I am worried that she is not eating. This will rapidly lead to dehydration in a small dog. The veterinarian will examine her and determine what may be the cause of her symptoms. She could be painful or be experiencing nausea. From there, treatment and diagnostics can be discussed. I hope this information helps!
