My 5 years old short haird chihuhua Xena suddenly started to shed a lot. She never did before. maybe just a little but not as much. I give her fish oil every day and she eats only natural canned and dry food (Wellness, Paul Newmant organics, Evanger's canned add Wenewe dry). what should i do...

It could be. Or it could be allergies. Is there any discharge? And is there any discharge from eyes and ears? My old Chi has constant congestion in his nose and vet thinks it's allergies but nothing helps.

Very interesting. I have a dog with seizures. He was on lamb diet but I just changed him to Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Duck&Potate canned food. I give him also same brand's Potato&Duck treats. I switched him onto this food because it is less likely to cause allergies and has less...

Take her to the vet! ASAP!

Beasley has a huge penis for his size. He weighs only 5 lb and his penis - about 2 lb. And it's pretty red. It never occured to me to worry about it though. I thoght they came in all colors and sizes, just like human's. :)

Thank you so much! I am so sorry for your loss! It is so sad! I hope my Beasley have a few good years left in him. I don't think is on his last leg yet. I'll do my best to make his life sweet at his old age. He is a trooper and he survived the streets of NYC and he is only 5 lb! So, I...

Protein content is 7% in Lamb and 5% in Duck&Ptato. I read it's best to have a low protein food for liver problems? no? I also make sure he gets snacks throughout the day so his blood sugar doesn't go down. Just in case. he is not complaining about this part. He has great appetite! I don't...

The siezures you describe sounds like my dog's Beasley's. He wa a stray too. Please read "My Chihuahua has seizures! What is it??? Help!" thread. There is also a great website that I found that has a lot of information on seizures, why they happen and how to deal...

Thank you, Manchesters. He is on Nuera Meat lamb canned all natural food because of yeast. I was thinking of switching him to Duck&Potato but vet said not to right now and wait and see how he does on the herbs. I did ask him if Beasley might be hypoglicemiac but he said that his blood...

Well, Renee, I was just fostering him for a rescue but nobody seemed interested in adopting him, probably because of his age, so he is just kind of stuck here. I just wish my other Chi got along with him better. She is such a princess and doesn't want to share attention. And Beasly is such a...

Well, we are back from the ultrusound. It showed no tumor. Thank god! But there are some degenerative changes in the liver and kidneys and his prostate is enlarged (might be due to him not being neutered). And the vet now thing that Beasley is at least 10-12 years old after looking at his...

He has had 3 in the last month. I have only had him for about 2 months now. He doesn't loose conciesness and it passes very quickly. He seems fine afterwards. The only abnormality they found in his blood work is elevated liver enzymes. It could be anything from what I gather. The vet says...

Wel, I took him to the vet and they did x-rays and blood tests. Blood work is not back yet but his x-rays look ok except for some arthritis in his spine and neck. But I guesss that's to be expected in an older dog. The vet gave me Epitrol to give for seizures, which is an herbal alternative...

My 10 year old Chihuhua seems to have some kind of seizures. I just got the little guy about 1.5 month ago from a rescue. He is old and a little wobbly on his legs but very spunky and active for his age. He's been to the vet and he is pretty healthy except his stuffy nose which I think is yeast...

Poor baby! It's painfull just to look at it! Could it be that his wound after the surgery got infected? maybe while you wer gone something happened.. Antibiotics should have helped though... Please keep us posted what happens at the vet. :)

If the cook came back and pip is still depressed, it's probably not because of the cook leaving that he was depressed in the first place. Did the vet do any tests? Has it been unusually hot or humid where you are? Sometimes my dogs don't want to play when it's really hot or humid...

Vet said it was allergies and gave me some herbal chinese pills which didn't help at all. I am just trying to make it easier for my dog to breath when it gets really bad. I guess I'll ask my vet, you are right. thank you

I was just wondering if anybody knew how much Benadryl to give to a 5 lb chihuahua. The instructions on the box are useless since they only tell you how much to give to children 6 to 12 years ols. I need to know so I can ease my dogs stuffy nose. Sometimes it gets really stuffy.

I don't know what you are usually feeding her, but if it's dry food, it mihgt just be too hard for her to chew. And she likes hotdogs because they are soft? I don't know but at this age I would just give it to her and tried to mix it with some other palatable high quality canned dog food or...

Was there a biopsy done on the tissue from the lupm? What is it? Is it cancerous? Why amputate? I would definitely get a second opinion!
