It sounds like you're dealing with a very concerning situation with your Chihuahua. Bloody or black diarrhea, especially when it's accompanied by vomiting, weight loss, and dental issues, can indeed signal a serious underlying condition. This could range from gastrointestinal bleeding and infections to more severe systemic problems. Given that these symptoms have persisted for two weeks, it's imperative to seek veterinary care immediately. A veterinarian will be able to conduct the necessary tests to identify the cause and provide the appropriate treatment.

In the meantime, it's important to keep your dog hydrated, as both diarrhea and vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration. Offer small amounts of water frequently to help with this. However, please refrain from giving any over-the-counter medications without consulting your veterinarian, as they could potentially worsen the situation.

I strongly recommend visiting a veterinarian as soon as possible to address these symptoms and ensure your pet receives the care she needs. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
