My mom has 2 Chihuahuas and she told me that the vet said trachea problems are common in the breed. Both her dogs have eating issues. She has to feed them small amounts of softened food.

'trachea's' are what U breathe Thur;

an Esophagus is what Ur food goes down, from mouth to stomach.

and for vomiting or any other issue in such small dogs, Go To The Vet.
self-prescribing for a dog who's under 10 pounds can leave U preparing for a funeral; Chis are small, have tiny major organs, and NUTRITION , as in hi-quality food, not fast-food icky, is imperative.

all toy-dogs have a faster metabolism than bigger dogs, and no real safety-zone for inadequate nutrients coming in on a regular basis. they go down very fast! losing fluids is an even faster crisis; dehydration can be lethal in 48 hrs, so vomiting OR diarrhea are a big worry, and Both Together is an emergency!
