    Sick Puppy
    :eek: Help, I just bought two teacup chihuahuas. They are brother and sister. One is lively, and plays all day. The other obviously calm (personality) but like overnight, puppy starts moaning for no reason, is stubborn about eating, no vomiting, no diarrhea yet (seldom eats) sleeps the entire day. I had them for a week already, and the one that acts if he is sick looks skinnier really quick and is wobbly from the back legs and can't tilt his head without falling. We spent all our money on buying them and we were told they had their first set of shots already. Oh, and they are 10 weeks old.:confused: He is constantly moaning and it is a helpless feeling.

    He was probably the runt. Also, small dogs often have health problems ESPECIALLY ones that are over-bred to be super small such as teacup anythings... Go to the vet, and make sure your little one is healthy.

    I am disturbed by your statement that you spent all your money buying them, and that they have had their first set of shots. Did the breeder not inform you that you have at least 2, possibly 3, more rounds of shots to go, in the next few months? The sick pup needs to see a vet now, but the other one is going to need to be going to get the remaining vaccines and general wellness checks. The first year of a dog's life tends to be very expensive, because of all the initial costs.
