My minpin-chihuahaua has stopped eating. We adopted her almost a year ago. She had major dental surgery and doesnt' have many teeth. She ate science diet small & toy breed light since we got her. She won't eat any dog food now. We've tried all kinds of canned food as well as different dry. She will eat her treats & occasionally a hot dog, burger or chicken. She really likes honey nut cheerios. However, she won't eat anything 2 days in a row. She has diarrhea and today she threw up. Help!

I am very sorry to hear that Belle is experiencing these problems, I am sure it is very unsettling for you both. Unfortunately, with a history of vomiting and diarrhoea, and inappetance for 2 days, I advise you take Belle in to see her vet. There are a number of potentially very serious causes of such clinical signs, including pancreatistis and ingestion of a toxin or poison. Your vet will be able to perform a physical exam and run diagnostic tests such as bloodwork to determine the cause of Belle's vomiting and diarrhoea. In the meantime you can try boiled chicken breast and white rice diet and provide plenty of fresh water. I hope that answer was helpful and more importantly that Belle feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
