We had him for 16 amazing years. It feels weird not seeing him curled up with my mom or sunbathing in the backyard. We miss you more than you know. See you on the other side, my handsome old man.

Chillin with me as I work the day away.

I have the best alert system ever!

We get the sun all afternoon. This is the most important thing to consider when you own a chihuahua

I want to share all my pictures of my little lady

My 5 year old apple head chi is a very finicky eater. She ended up in the vets office two weeks ago with bloody diarrhea after missing a few meals. The vet said she got in to the office just in time because her blood results were bad and was suffering from a bad bacterial infection in her gut. Her potassium was low enough that she was concerned about her heart. She was hospitalized, put on an IV and meds. Her appetite returned the night she came home and after 2 weeks we appeared to turn the corner. I kept feeding her boiled chicken, white rice and pumpkin as she seemed really interested in the offering these last 2 weeks. Today I gave her 2 meals of just chicken and now we are back where we started, tummy troubles, diarrhea and this evening blood in her stool.

I am kicking myself because I feel like this is my fault. I don’t know what to do besides another trip to the vet. Has anyone treated their chi for similar tummy issues? What did you do to help turn the corner or prevent this from happening again? I love this dog, I don’t neglect her at all but her finicky food selection constantly has me anxious because this is the usual end result when she lets too much time pass btwn meals.

TIA!
