Extremely small Chihuahua's especially can develop blood sugar problems. This starts at an early age. Signs or symptoms can be lethargy, falling or stumbling, comma or even death if not treated in time. When puppy starts acting unusually lethargic mix honey and water together. This may save you a trip to the vet if done at the right moment If puppy will not drink from water Procede to take to the vet as soon as possible.

Chihuahua's and other small breeds are prone to slipping knee and hip joints. This can be vary painful for a small dog. baby Tylenol can be given to decrease pain. Given one on a daily bases and one half to smaller dogs could decrease any sign of a problem. I have been told surgery can cure this problem in some pet cases.

Chihuahua's are prone to stress. When moving or a favorite friend going away for a while this can happen. Blood sugar and diarrhea can occur in this incident.

Becoming Stressful if attention is not given quite often can occur When training a small dog ... be sure to let them know when they are good. Do not push the issue to long of a period of time when they are bad. If you do not see it happen ... it is too late to criticizes Do not yell bad. Ask if he/she did that. Though besides this ... all else is useless in most cases.
