My 4yr old chihuahua just started walking wobbly on her back legs. I’m unsure of what could be the issue. This was right after I finished cleaning the living/dining room & kitchen. Im hoping that she is alright.

My 3 year old chihuahua was spayed a year ago and has continued weight gain ,troubles with getting around and very heavy breathing. Tonight she began to go into a corner and tilt her head to the left and down and walk in almost circles. I went to rub her head and she started yelling! Her breathing is getting worse and I’m concerned. Any thoughts , comments or maybe similar experiences would be greatly appreciated TIA

Please help! My 10 week old chihuahua was smashe in the door 2 days ago. She weighs 1.7 lbs. she was bleeding through her nose I rushed her to the Vet which is thankfully 1 min away from my house. The vet gave her Vit K epinephrine and said she looks fine as long as the bleeding stops. The bleeding did stop he watched her for a few hours and told us to come get her. Today she hasn’t moved much. I know she is experienced a lot of trauma for her little tiny body. I called the vet today and said she hasn’t moved much and only had water out of a syringe. He said give her koro syrup and it may give her energy. Did nothing. She is now laying there shaking which she only does when she is scared . It’s almost 1 am and I feel like loading the kids up and bringing her to a 24 hour vet. I am not sure how to care for a tiny pup. The dr assured me she will be fine she just needs rest. If anyone has experienced this please help me. A part of me thinks she will die and another part is telling me she is ok. I’m scared what should I look for that would signal death soon?? This is my first ever little pup and experience with injury to an animal

kimberly fitzpatrick: All I could get from your commentary is -me me me, completely egotistical. I did not came in to a house hold with silver spoons, and I have had to work hard in order to get a pet, that entailed being responsible about it, meaning having the responsibility to pay for a VET. If you can not have a vet then don’t have a pet, think about them, and not only about your egotistical self. Learn to be responsible, which entails making sacrifices such as forgoing the option of a pet, no matter how much you want one, doing the opposite is EVIL, BAD , WRONMG, INHUMANE and complete nonsense.

I just read a comment where someone made the statement that you should not have a pet if you could not afford a vet ,It must be nice to never have financial problems , and to be so judgemental as to how one must live ,I have noticed that most people that are like this have been born with a silver spoon,and are narsistic assholes !Everyone deserves the love and company of a loving pet!!!!

My chihuahua mix delivered 7 puppies about a week ago and since she has had diarrhea with a strong odor,she doesn’t seem to be keeping a great amount of weight but she is keeping some and her appetite Is good & kids can be draining so I didn’t think much of it,she seems sluggish but again I was too with 4 kids and she had 7.At first I thought this may be normal after a large delivery.Should I help her with feedings? could that make a difference?I’m getting more concerned because something in the way she looks at me now tells me something may be seriously wrong with her or It could just be me freaking out so immediately I called my vet and first available appointment is Tuesday. So If they didn’t think it was an urgent matter then I should feel okay with that but even Vets can be wrong. Can anybody please tell me if something is seriously wrong?? I plan to take her IN TO her Vet in the morning instead of waiting because I am having panic attacks now and can’t wait until Tuesday and can only hope that they will see her. If not then it’s to the E.R so please any advice would/could help. Does this require a visit to the E.R.?? Speaking on my behalf only of course,mine or anybody else’s finances and common sense shouldn’t be something that’s focused/ commented on. I believe the purpose for the ” comment ” section is to get/give advice from anybody that’s had a similar experience and depending on that advice they can better determine whether this calls for( a very costly ) E.R visit when It could of waited until morning. It’s not whether we can afford It,It’s can we avoid It? It doesn’t make anybody irresponsible or negligent because they asked a question or two and would prefer to save the money from having to go to the E.R because I’m/their the ones freaking out. I have a very painful disability as well and If I can avoid making It even more painful I would love that someone would/ could help. Yes there are some that don’t have common sense so just give them some( If you can). Be helpful not hateful!

If you don’t have the common sense, or the money, to take your pet to a vet, you SHOULD NOT have a pet. Too many pets go to bad, uncaring, irresponsible homes, often having first come from bad, uncaring, irresponsible breeders.

I have a small chihuahua which is about five months old now and has weak back legs. I took her to the vet and they prescribed her steroids, muscle relaxers, and pain meds. Is there anything else I could possibly do to help her get back on her feet. ):
