Question
Hi I have a 5 year old Chi. I took him out this afternoon like I always do and he was fine. This afternoon he started to act funny keeping to his self. I picked him up to see what was wrong with him and I felt his lower stomach and he cried. He goes to the bathroom each time he goes out. He didnt fall and do anything out of the ordinary. He is current on all of his shots. I hope you can help me. Thankyou.

Answer
There's no possible way that I can help you over the internet.  You need to have your dog seen by a qualified veterinarian who can palpitate his stomach, take his temperature, check for other signs of pain, etc.  He/she may even have to run some blood work.  Chihuahuas can have congitial abnornalities, he could have ingested something when you were unable to see him do it, etc.

Trust me when I tell you that you need a professional opinon by a qualified veterinarin based on a thorough exam and should NOT trust sources on the internet that try to sell you supplements, vitamins or the such where they profit from a commission.

I hope you'll write back after you've had your little guy examined and share what the vet found and I hope that he'll be feeling much better by then.
