Mine is 11 years old and he grunts alot, even more so when I pick him up. Not sure what could be causeing that?
i have a 3 year old, 7lb. chi. he has been eating well, but not drinking well. he had been keeping his head up as if to keep his throat open, he could not bend down to eat. then his back legs got weak, they are jello like and wobbly. he is now able to bend his throat fine, but his legs are a great concern. he sometimes also cry’s wen he gets picked up. can anyone help me?
Dont give her milk!! thats probably why shes vomiting but I would definitely take her to the vet. You should give puppies pellets and try to make them soft by soaking them in hot water. Hope this helps

chihuahuas are notorious for making snorting and grunting noises when they are playing or just investigating a new smell. this is perfectly normal for chihuahuas. https://www.famouschihuahua.com/chihuahua-facts/snoring/
my 4 month chihuahua that i just got from the pound was to adorable to say no to. But i have noticed a lot of sneezing and werid noises almost like breathing or snorting sounds..she acts fine and eats and plays normal but unsure. the pound said she was healthy but I’m just not sure..

hi darla, please take a look at the following information about chihuahuas and essential fatty acids in their diet, if yours is not on a EFA formula it would be ideal to get them started on one ASAP as it could make a huge difference with her health all around and it will add to her caloric intake in a very healthy way – if you find that she licks it up right away then that tells you she is deficient of this very important nutrient https://www.famouschihuahua.com/chihuahua-nutrition/chihuahuas-essential-fatty-acids/
I’m looking for information on a holistic diet for my dogs 2 chihauhua’s and a lab. Izzy (chihuahua) has chronic digestive problems and we’ve been to the vet numerous times. Trying different medications/test. She has bacteria in her intestinal tract and the way they’re talking she will always have problems. She is currently on an antibiotic and some chinese herbs to try and keep her from having a bout. She can’t seem to go a week without bloody mucus diahrea and vomitting. She also won’t eat when she has a bout and she’s underweight. Any suggestions. She is currently on boiled chicken an prescription EN (Dry) dog food. The vet wanted me to take her off chicken but it’s the only thing I can entice her to eat when she isn’t feeling well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Allergies. Our Pixie has allergies. The one single flea that gets by my arsenal, the new fabric softener, my daughter’s perfume; you name it she’s allergic to it. Reacts just like a human, itchy, watery eyes, sniffles. The vet and I both were happy to see a small daily dose of children’s Benadryl solves the issue nicely. So far so good. She’s a joy though, I’d not trade the wee one for anything. So much personality in such a tiny package! It’s not cliche it’s the truth.
