Of course most of it was diarrhea, and she's just recently started vomiting clear fluid and partially digested food. Well last night, and all day she has constantly paced through the house. It's not a fast walk, its very slow. She walks up against all the walls and furniture. She runs into things frequently. I know she can't be blind, I can't describe how I know, but she's not. She's exhausted from walking all day long. It's driving us all crazy because we can't figure out what's wrong with her. The only time she'll sleep is when one of us holds her. She will not sit down, or lay down. She's been eating and drinking normally. She's also been trying to chew electrical cords, shoes, or anything that's very hard. She just chewed through my flip flops a few minutes ago, within a couple of seconds, they were destroyed. She won't chew bones or toys, or even play..

She has had all of her shots, and wasn't due back for another shot for a year. She had ear mites & fleas, and our vet treated her for that. But I've noticed, what looks to be ear mites, has come back. So I cleaned her ears out the other day. I don't know if that could've caused anything to happen, but I didn't stick a q-tip down into her ear. I know better. But, just enough to wipe around the areas that I could see. We also put some flea medicine on her back that was for 4-16 pound dogs. I don't know if some how either of those things could of affected her health. I also posted a few weeks ago about her eye bothering her, which I took her to the vet and we gave her the antibiotic in her eye that the vet gave to us. Her eye healed, but like I said.. I don't know if that could affect her either.

I honestly have no clue what could be wrong with her. She seems to be off-balance too when she DOES stand still. I know these sound like a lot of sympoms..but I don't know.. I'm taking her to the vet first thing in the morning..and I'm praying that she, and I both get some sleep. I feel terrible for her. I hope someone can help.

If it also helps, she's 4-5 pounds and she'll be 8 months old on Monday.
The flea medication could very well have affected her and caused an allergic reaction. If your vet rules that is not the problem and it persists, I suggest, if you haven't had bile acids done, request that they do them.
