Can someone tell me every possibility of what could be wrong?

I have a Chihuahua that has not ate in a week at first she ate a little and it was like she was choking on it like it was painful fed her for a day by mashing treats so she didnt have to chew then she completely stopped she is very weak can't stand I took her to the vet this morning she's there now hooked to an I.V. and I have no idea how she is doing until tomortow morning I am so worried she is gonna die the vet said she felt a lump that could be a large blockage but she has been drinking lots of water and urinating but she's severely dehydrated so she's concerned it may be something deadly and she is too weak for surgery if needed I don't even know what it could be. She is getting old not sure how old but at least 9

Ahh, I'm really sorry to hear about your dog.  Know that she is in the RIGHT place. The vet will look after her and give her the care she needs.  She may not recover but you've done what you can to help her.  Fluids are a good thing.  Dogs can get dehydrated like people and can have the same consequences from it.  Eating is far less important for both people and dogs than hydrating.  My dog had pancreatitis and did not eat for days, also needed fluid and recovered from it.  So, see what the doctor says. She may not need surgery for anything but just rest and those fluids and soon food of some sort.  
Come back when you check on her tomorrow and let us know what the vet says/thinks, okay?  Hang in there!!
