First and foremost, your breeder should have sent you home with your new pet and a bunch of health information in tow. Don’t be afraid to contact them in any instance if you have questions about your pet’s health. They should be willing to help you, as they will want their pet’s offspring to be well-looked after, happy and healthy.

Chihuahua’s seem to have fewer health-related issues than other breeds, mainly because of the diligence of Chihuahua breeders: They have worked hard to eliminate many health defects. Unfortunately, all pets can suffer at some stage from health problems, and Chi’s are no exception.

1. Subluxation of the patella

Basically, this translates as loose kneecaps. This can be a common issue for toy breeds. The kneecaps on the rear legs can slip out of their grooves. This can happen often or hardly at all, depending on the severity of the problem. Your pet may require surgery to fix this problem, but if it is a mild case then it is no cause for concern.

2. Hypoglycemia

This refers to low blood sugar levels, and is common in young toy dogs. More often than not, Chi’s with this issue will outgrow the problem before they leave the breeder. However this can impact upon some dogs throughout their lives. Symptoms to look out for are: glassy eyes, unsteady gait, and either limpness or rigidity. If the pet doesn’t receive treatment he can have seizures, go into a coma or even die. Treatment comes in the form of putting something sugary into your pet’s mouth and heading straight to the vet. Once your pet has been diagnosed, you will be given info about what foods are suitable for your pet to eat. Your vet will help you will this. You can even train your pet to take liquid medicine from an eyedropper: Sometimes, instead of the medicine, melt some icecream. This will make him more eager to take anything from the eyedropper.

3. Collapsing trachea

This is a common problem for toy breeds. Symptoms can include wheezing/coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Any time your dog is struggling to breathe properly you should go to the vet immediately. This condition occurs when cartilage in the neck collapses, impairing breathing. This condition is more common in dogs over the age of 5. It can be treated with medication, but the most influential factor is whether or not your pet is being forced to breathe in second-hand smoke.

4. Hydrocephalus

This is also referred to as “water on the brain”. The dog may have an unusually large head, which is caused by swelling. This is a fatal condition, which will result in the need to euthanise (or put down) the dog. Other signs your pet is suffering from this condition include an unsteady gait, east-west eyes (the opposite to cross eyes), frequent falling, seizures, and a lot of white showing in the eyes. This is an extremely painful condition, and the most humane thing to do is to euthanise the dog.

5. Molera

Like a human baby, chihuahua’s have a soft spot on the top of their head called the molera. This is considered a characteristic of the breed, not a defect. Around 80 to 90% of chihuahua’s have this. Unlike babies, chi’s won’t outgrow this. Be gentle patting or stroking the pet’s head. This can also be a sign of hydrocephalus, but don’t panic as there are many symptoms associated with that disease (as described above).
