Question
lola
lola  
My year old chug (chihuahua pug cross) has had hiccup like stomach convulsions followed by white foam like vomit twice in the past week. She also has been excessively tired and shivering a lot.

About six months ago she suffered from what we and the vet both think was Parovirus. However, she has seemed fine up to this point.

Lola is about a year old, she has all of her shots and is neutered. She is a delicate hybrid cross of a chihuahua and pug. Lola is a very curious dog but doesn't go outside without me keeping an eye on her.

Answer
Lola might be suffering from some dietary indiscretions. What that means is that she shouldn't be eating anything other than her regular food. Cut out any snacks and only feed her at her regular hours.

She could have gastritis, which is painful. If she continues to vomit you should call the vet as she can get dehydrated very quickly.
