Why is my chihuahua throwing up thick vomit at night and not eating?

Question

My dog has been throwing up in the middle of the night (not every night) but it occurred twice last night. She's not as enthusiastic about food as she once was. She'll leave it for hours and only eats when she has to. Her vomit has been thick, almost like a stuffing consistency. She is a 1 year old chihuahua.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!
