I hate to hear that Chihuahuay is so sick. Unfortunately it's impossible to know why this is happening without being able to examine him and run some tests. This could be many things including poisoning, severe parasites or a blockage in his intestines. Vomiting blood is very worrisome. I recommend to have your puppy examined quickly by the veterinarian. He will like needs fluids, medications to treat the symptoms and he will need diagnostics like bloodwork, a fecal testing and maybe an x-ray. He may even need surgery. I hope they figure out the problem quickly and are able to cure him. Best of luck.

    You must get him to a vet. I would be extremely worried that he has parvovirus or distemper virus. There is no way for us to diagnose him via the internet. We cannot recommend any treatment without knowing what is wrong with him. Please try to get him to a vet as soon as possible. Vomiting with blood is very serious.
