Chihuahua Need of Help!

Question
HI! I have a 8 year old chihuahua who has always had seizures ( or thats what I diagnosed..she trembles,cant move,and gets stiff for like a minute.) Anyways this past month lots of things happened, first she ate rat poision which affected her breathing, my mom gave her antibiotics and seemed to get better. Now three weeks later,after breathing right and eating and being herself... she started trembling too much, she started crying everytime she moved and she has a red eye! Basically she cant jump to the couch without someone helping her,she does not eat and seems like her stomach or back butt hurts. I don know if this is a result of the rat poison or she got hit. Im more worried about that eye. Can you help me?

Answer
Hi Luz - I wonder if your little Chi has kidney damage or even liver failure related to the poison that she ingested .
I don't know what to say.... She needs to see a vet and it many be too late for her.
So sorry, try to make her comfortable.  The vet could give her some pain medications.  YOU can also give an 81 mg baby aspirin per day - it is hard on the stomach.  Also, her liver may not be able to break down the aspirin.  Just don't have many ideas for you.
Good luck to you two ...
