Need help with my chihuahua

Did you know that chihuahuas need help giving birth? They are so small, even the larger breeds, that the babies' heads cannot clear the birth canal without killing the mother. You'd better get the poor thing to the vet right away and find out then make arrangements for the birth if you want the pups. It's quite expensive, it'll cost you a couple thousand to deliver this way but your little dog will probably die unassisted. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but that's the facts. All good wishes to your furbaby!

I have three chihuahua's of my own and my parents have had a number of them as well and have two now however, we've never bred them so we don't know the answer per sa however, I did find this site which might answer your questions. Here's the link as well as a copy of the part I found interesting. Hope it helps!

Is this normal, or is it something to be concerned about? I'm not sure if she's pregnant, but she has shown other signs like a change in her appetite and acting more affectionately. She seems sleepier than usual, but I thought that didn't happen until later in pregnancy. Is it possible she could show all these signs just two weeks after having been bred? I'm going to take her to the vet to have her checked 30 days after the breeding to see if she is pregnant. Expert Reply Yes, those are all signs that your Chihuahua might be pregnant, but your vet will be able to tell you for sure. You should actually take her in to your vet 28 days after breeding. Your vet will palpate her to feel the embryos in the uterine horns. After 28 days, the horns swell up and it's not possible to feel the pups again until they are much larger. For now, treat her as though she is pregnant, and offer her extra food if she will eat it. Be careful about letting her jump down from the furniture, but do take her for daily walks around the block to keep her well toned. [/i]
