my chihuahua had her puppies yesterday. i’m not sure if she delivered her placenta because i noticed something that looked like a greenish blackish string sticking out of her vagina. she is discharging something greenish and blackish with some blood from her vagina and when i touch her head it is very warm. is she sick or is the discharge normal.

My 2 year old Chihuahua has been licking herself a lot last couple of days everything else is perfectly normal. I took a closer look and her behind looks a bit inflamed. Her bowel movements and eating are fine. Is this something I should worry about?

She vomited all night and wouldn’t eat or drink so I called the vet and they said it was ok aslong as she starts to eat within 24hrs . She started to drink and eat abit after 24hrs but now it has been almost 48hrs and she sleeps alot…..no more vomiting and stool is ok but hardly eats or drinks……how many days can the side affects last…….I am scared to get her 3rd one next month…….

if you do not have the money to take your chihuahua to the vet then you should not have a chihuahua to begin with. a dog is a responsibility and it is your responsibility to take them to the vet when they are ill.

I just had to make the decision to put my 11 week old baby to sleep and I am totally devasted. We had only had him since 8 weeks and we did the immediate vet visit and 1st round of puppy shots. He was due for 2nd set in two days but did not make it to that. Last Wednesday, exactly a week ago, my husband called me at work to tell me that Maddy just didn’t seem himself. He had the sniffles, very runny nose, very watery eyes, and his wonderful appetite was stopped. The vet said heart sounded great, lungs clear, no fever, yet put him on Clavomox (amoxicillin) and and antibiotic salve for his eyes. I gave him meds and nutrical like clockwork, yet by Friday he seemed worse. By Saturday morning he was salavating so much it was foamy and he would run in circles and howl so I rushed him to the ER vet. They witnessed a strong seizure within only minutes of getting him to the back. I was told he was on IV fluids, valium, and phenobarbitol for seizures. That seemed to help for a couple of hours and the vet seemed optimistic telling me dogs can be epileptic yet live long lives with daily medication to prevent seizures. Then they started back again. By Sunday evening they were so bad they could not get them to stop so I had to realize that he had fought long enough and suffered long enough. He was such a precious pup. When I picked up his body, the vet could not give me a definite but said it looked a lot like Distemper but we still don’t know and never will

call your vet as soon as possible to let them know what is going on. ask them if they will see her for a check up. book the check up.
try giving your chihuahua a piece of a romaine lettuce leaf – the inner core, the crispy part that contains water. it can help hydrate her without actually giving her water.

Hello, my chihuahua is 1yr. and 6months old. Today when she woke she would not eat or drink. She seemed to be moving around well though. Then tonight all she wanted to do was lay there snuggled under her blankie. It sounds like she is thirsty, but she ill no drink. I tried to make her drink on her own and she wouldn’t then I tried to make here drink for a syringe but again she would not. I’m scared because she never did this before. I also checked her temp. and it is 1 degree higher then it should be. What should I do?

Just wanted to make sure i came back to update, i left a blog on here about my baby lucy who was 8 weeks old back in october. she was vomiting and had diarhea for the week that we had her, we took her to the vet 4 out of 7 days and one of those being the first day we had her, vet said she was fine even though she had bloody diarhea. as the week went on she couldnt even drink water, the night before she passed she wouldnt get up and wonder and didnt want anything to do with playing. that morning we took her to the vet where they declared her dehydrated and sent us to an emergency clinic bc they were not capable of putting a catheter in her neck. as soon as we got to the er clinic they tested her for parvo and it was positive. i did everything i could, i took her to the vet all week. bought special food. no one did this simple test. parvo killed my baby girl lucy at midnight on halloween. it broke my heart. i may have only had her for a week but she was my pride and joy. im sorry for the sob story, there is a point behind all of this. take your puppy as soon as they are not acting like themselves, read up on them! and most importantly read up on the vetrinarian you take them too! you yourself need to be aware of things like “parvo” most common virus for a dog and i might still have lucy today if it would have been caught in time. after going into cardiac arrest they said she would have nero. damage and wouldnt live a very nice life. lucy now sits in my living room in a pink urn:) and if i can help anyone at all out with their chi. i would love it.

Any fluid “built up” inside your chi is bad! My dog bandit that i wrote about above started out with a little bit of fluid in his lungs. Despite medication and veterinarian care for 3 days, the next day he died.
