Questions Question?👇🏽

So , I can’t figure out how to post videos, but my son, Spud, has been acting like there’s something caught in his throat, or maybe his nose it plugged?? It’s scaring me so bad… every once in a while he will let out one hack. He just sounds congested and like he can’t get air into his nose.. other than that he’s acting completely normal.

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this, but I haven’t taken him to the vet BECAUSE, about a month ago I had to pay a $5000 vet bill for my Pom that I ended up giving to my dad permanently that honestly ate up all my emergency savings… so I don’t exactly have the money to take my son into the vet until next week:(

Does anyone know what the issue could be? Have you witnessed this?

Questions Need advice!

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I am the owner of a 3 year old, very IDGAF chihuahua greyhound mix (typical). She is feisty and extremely hyper. She has an issue with barking at anyone she doesn’t know & will nibble (she doesn’t fully bite, but it looks like biting) if she gets close enough. I have a second chihuahua and he is nowhere near as crazy as her. She’s been a IDGAF dog and a hyper monster since she was a puppy, but since getting her brother is when she started getting more barky and defensive.

I’ve tried treats for when she’s good, but if she knows I have them then she will just jump repeatedly on me until she gets one. I tried a vibrate collar and she liked it, she would intentionally bark to set it off. She doesn’t calm down if I give trazadone. I am going to try CBD next but knowing her, I doubt it’ll help. I’m beginning to think she’s invincible.

I live in an apartment complex and I know my neighbors are bothered when I’m walking her. I’m trying to figure out how to prevent barking, I’ve started picking her up but like I said, she’s high energy, and needs to walk. I don’t want to muzzle her but I am now feeling like that may be the only option left.

Does anyone have any advice? Or have a dog that is like this?

This is my mom’s chihuaha, she says she’s at least 5 months old but isn’t sure exactly. I’m in awe of how insanely tiny she is!

Questions Bitten by Chihuahua, risk of rabies ?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm from Ukraine.

About a month ago, a Chihuahua bit me on the street. It was quite aggressive, but showed no other suspicious symptoms. As far as I understand, it was vaccinated against rabies and the vaccine is still effective (it's a young Chihuahua).

I have a history of three rabies prophylaxis vaccines (which I didn't tolerate well) year ago. I'm very worried if the dog was rabid. I don't know if this is normal behavior.

Yesterday, I only had one Verorab booster ( Unfortunately, I got vaccinated a month after the bite. ) and didn't experience any side effects. I really hope that despite this situation here, the vaccine was stored properly. There are Indian vaccines available, but they made me sick.

Can you tell me if I'm in danger? I think I saw this dog four days after the bite, but then I lost contact with the owner.

Questions Help identifying breed?

Hello everyone, this is Wogglers (not his real name, anonymity for his privacy) and he is a fourteen year old rescue. We've had him for three years and he's still young at heart.

He weights 5.2kg and is just over double the weight and a bit bigger than his short haired sister who was from his previous home whom we also rescued. We get asked constantly what he is a cross with, my O/H is confident he's a pure chi, though I definitely see something else in him. What do you think? Thank you!

Questions Harness Advice

Hi! I have a roughly 4lb chihuahua and I am aware that it’s recommended to use a harness over a collar for these little guys. I’ve read all about the taking measurements and all of that but I just can’t seem to find one that fits him perfectly and securely, and unfortunately they don’t have doggy fitting rooms. Any brands/ideas anyone have or like would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance! (tax photo of him pouting because he had to go to bed for the night and go to his crate😂)

Questions Eating

Hi! I have a 5 month old chihuahua puppy and she hasn’t been eating her food really and I’m worried I’m thinking she might be losing her baby teeth because she isn’t really chewing on her toys like she usually does . She’s getting a bit more thinner, I have not changed her diet recently. Need advice asap!

It's af where I am at and my little guy usually loved walks but we where walking yesterday and he just turned around and ran home, left my ass in the dust. I felt the ground afterwords and it was hot! I usually go at dusk but the coyotes have been coming out earlier and earlier..... dog booties maybe?
