ANSWER: Windy-
I hope all went well with your Chihuahua-  

My miss Priscilla - my 7 pound chi loves NuVET Plus Vitamins....

Please visit my web site for more info on small dogs and Natural Nutrition choices.

NuVET Plus is a great wafer TREAT... She would only need 1/2 a wafer per day about .25 cents per day for The BEST and Number One Pet Supplement in the USA.

Thanks

QUESTION: I think she might have had a seizure when I wasnt around and was trying to recover. she has had a few in the past years ago. she is getting back to normal now. its hard when they get old. just put my other one down in november (arthritis) meds werent helping her.

Answer
Hi Again:
If she is having seizures again, you may want to get her back on some meds... The Phenobarbital is a good one and it will help to keep her balanced thru her last years of life.
She can live another 2-4 years.. Depends on her mom and dad and how long they lived.  

Make sure you feed her wet food - a good holistic brand 3 x per day - very small amounts... ( wet food on top of the dry kibble)

Keep her blood sugar levels up - Chi dogs tend to get low blood sugar or hypoglycemia..

Good luck..
