Question
I got a chihuahua yesterday he is almost a year he has been throwing up mucus and having bloody stools I have no money right now to take hime to the vet what to do i cant find information on this problem for nothing please help me

Answer
Return this dog to the breeder or rescue you bought this dog from and get your money back. Someone sold you a sick dog.

And just in case it wasn't that, be sure you keep a dog on his previous diet for a few weeks until he settles in. If you change over to a new diet too quickly, he could have intestinal upsets.

One should *ALWAYS* take a new puppy/dog immediately to the vet to make sure that he is healthy before he completely falls in love with it. Owning a dog can be expensive, and if one cannot afford the vet bills and a good quality diet, he needs a different pet.

Small dogs can get hypoglycemic and go downhill very quickly, so this dog needs to be seen by a vet.
