I attempted to make him vomit with 3% hydrogen peroxide but it did not work, and I was worried that it would hurt him if I kept giving him the peroxide. At that point, I called the breeder who advised me that it would pass and to give him some canned pumpkin to help him poop, he stop pooping Sunday for about 10 hours and then began pooping like normal. Although, I love my little teacup Chihuahua I am worried about how his small size is going to affect him in the future. I never really thought about it until I got him home and realized that I would need a finding bell on him at all time, due to his size; he was less than a pound when I got him a 7 ½ weeks. Yes, the vet advised that I continue to feed Toro while I watch for the earplug to pass.
I don't think that "teacup" anything is sound breeding, but they are very popular.

You need to keep feeding so that the digestive tract will keep working at moving stool through the intestines. I wouldn't over-feed though.

The vet saying xrays by Thursday, is, I bet, looking for signs of backed up stools, rather than the plug itself. Hopefully that won't be necessary!
